INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, announced Sunday that goaltender Cody Reichard was loaned to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins. A 5'11", 165 lb. 27 year-old native of Celina, Ohio, Reichard is 5-6-1-1 overall this season for the Fuel in a team-leading 15 appearances with a 3.35 goals-against average and a .889 save percentage.
