Lehman is being forced to move because of the weak British pound

Sheffield Steelers goaltender Jody Lehman admits he cannot afford to stay with the club next season.

The 33-year-old Canadian told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I've got to see what opportunities are out there and where the money is - that's the bottom line."

Lehman, in his fourth year at Steelers, admits the drop in the value of the pound means he has taken a 30% pay-cut.

"I have two mortgages to pay at home and one here and to make ends meet it's tough," Lehman added.
