 As a player, Coach Steele was a fixture in the StC goal from 2002 to 2005, earning Honorable Mention All-Conference honors in 2005. He recorded 111 saves that season (4th best in Club history), 17 of which came in the memorable "three-man-down game" against Wheaton Warrenville South. Check out the game video here.
