Oilers Claim Steve MacIntyre Off Waivers

Tuesday, Sep. 30th, 2008

The Edmonton Oilers have claimed defenceman Steve MacIntyre off waivers from the Florida Panthers.

The 6’6”, 265 pound native of Brock, Saskatchewan has seen playing time at both defence and forward during his career. Now in his eighth pro season, the 28-year-old brings both size and toughness to the ice.

MacIntyre spent the 2007-08 season with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League, scoring 2-3-5 in 62 games with 213 penalty minutes.

MacIntyre, who has also played with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack, has registered 200-or-more penalty minutes six times since turning pro in 2001-02, including a career high 421 minutes in 2004-05 when he split the season between Hartford and the ECHL’s Charlotte Checkers.

MacIntyre played three seasons in the Western Hockey League with Saskatoon, Red Deer and Prince Albert between 1997-98 and 1999-00.
