27 Oct 2015Robert Newbolt»

Jeff League set another impressive record with EIHL's Sheffield Steelers.

Sheffield Steelers forward Jeff Legue, a native of Cornwall, Ontario, last year was honoured for amassing 500 points for the Steelers.

But now he has achieved the record of 500 appearances for them. He is the top franchise leader for goals in major leagues, with 254 and now against Belfast Giants has reached this latest milestone.

Best known for his time in Sheffield when he teamed up with sniper Joey Talbot when they scored six hundred points in four years between them.

Since arriving from Germany in 2007, Legue has found the back of the net 254 times making him the 3^rd highest point scorer in the club’s history, 3^rd highest goalscorer and out on his own as the club’s all-time leading EIHL point and goalscorer. He has been top scorer for Sheffield for four years, three of them consecutively.

At the start of 2014/15 season family commitments forced him into the English Premier League at Sheffield Steeldogs but found the lure of the EIHL was too much and came back to lift the league title in 2015.
