Macon Trax News Release


Posting the first road shutout in Macon Trax history proved to be the catalyst for another outstanding week for goaltender Geoff Faulkner who has been named the Atlantic Coast Hockey League's Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Sunday March 2. It's the third time he's received the award, being honored the week of January 19th and February 2nd.

Faulkner backstopped the Trax to a 3-0 win in Knoxville, his third shutout of the season on Thursday night. He followed that with a strong outing in a 7-3 win in Jacksonville, and then surrendered only two goals in regulation and overtime, before the Trax lost 3-2 at Winston-Salem in a shootout on Saturday. For the week, Faulkner who has now played in 31 straight games for the Trax had a save percentage of .940.

The Trax resume their current road trip this Friday against the Cape Fear Fire Antz and then visit the Jacksonville Barracudas on Saturday. Those games can be heard on the internet at www.macontrax.com or www.IRN.FM starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

The Trax hold their hour long Hockey Happy Hour at Locos Deli & Pub every Monday at 6 p.m. Season tickets for 2003-04 are now on sale. Fans who purchase their tickets by March 15th receive a 20 percent discount on their ticket order. For more information on the Trax, contact the Trax office at (478) 743-6010.
