Fresno Falcons News Release
FRESNO, CALIF. - The Fresno Falcons announced today that goaltender Joe Fallon has been recalled to the Falcons AHL affiliate the Rockford Ice Hogs.
Fallon left Fresno on Thanksgiving Day to replace Rockford goaltender Corey Crawford who was recalled to the NHL Chicago Blackhawks.
Fallon has played nine games for the Falcons with a 7-2-0 record and has won his last four starts. He was assigned to the Falcons by the Chicago Blackhawks at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season.
Fallon was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the sixth round (#167 overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and entered his rookie season after a four-year campaign at the University of Vermont, where he was teammates with Falcons' defenseman Kenny MacAulay, and former Falcon right wing Brady Leisenring. Joe holds the Catamounts' all-time record with 20 shutouts, and also holds the school's single-season record of six shutouts, which he accomplished in both 2005-06 and 2006-07. Joe appeared in 132 career games at Vermont, posting an overall record of 63-51-17 with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
