After three years backstopping the Guildford Flames, Eamon McAdam has made the blockbusting move to the Steelers to join Matt Greenfield between the pipes.

After completing his education at Penn State University McAdam turned pro in 2016 signing for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League

In the six seasons that followed Eamon split his time between the AHL (55 games) and the ECHL (113 games) before heading to Europe and joining Danish side Esbyerg Energy in 2021

The following season saw a move to the UK and the Elite League with Guildford Flames in which time he backstopped the Flames to a Challenge Cup final and progressed to the final four of the play offs.

Head Coach Aaron Fox said “ Eamon is exactly the type of guy we needed to be that secondary option to greener.  

“He’s a guy that is a legit starter in our league and I will have confidence in when needing to give greener some rest. With the amount of games we play and the importance of each one, having a tandem like this is great for our group.  

“Eamon has played some huge games against us so we know firsthand he can get the job done”.

Speaking of his move to the Steelers Eamon said “I loved my time in Guildford but my career had come to a point where I had to make some serious decisions, I put a strong focus on winning and the draw of playing for such a professional organisation as the Steelers

“I know I will be competing with Matt Greenfield who over the last three seasons has set the bar in our league, I want us to push each other every day in practise and in doing that we are helping the team come game time, whoever is between the pipes that night

“When I spoke with Aaron, he didn’t have to persuade me too much, the chance to come to an organisation where the pressure is to win is a big draw, I can’t wait to be in that enviromoent”
