Steve Goertzen Obtains Visa Approval

Steelers head coach Ryan Finnerty has confirmed that the club has been advised that the final visa application has been approved, the one for former NHL'er Steve Goertzen.

"It's been a tough year with visa's this year" said Finnerty "I think the Olympics must have had something to do with it. Some players have had there visa applications fly through whilst some others started the process earlier and are only just getting the final confirmation

"Steven Goertzen was one of those. We were starting to get a little anxious but Steven got the e-mail confirmation yesterday that all was OK. He will have his paperwork in hand in a day or so and then fly out

"Shawn Limpright was another one that took longer than expected, that arrived though and he is on a plane tomorrow"
