Fresno Retains Marcoux

FRESNO, CALIF. -- The Fresno Falcons announced today that former Princeton defenseman Daryl Marcoux has agreed to terms for the 2008-09 season.

"When we set out to rebuild this year's roster, we wanted to retain players that exemplify a strong work ethic and a desire to compete," Falcons Head Coach and General Manager Matt Thomas said.

Marcoux enters his second pro season in 2008-09. Last year as a rookie, he appeared in 62 games with the Falcons, scoring four goals and adding 17 assists for 21 points, while also accumulating 80 penalty minutes. The 24-year-old led the club in plus-minus with a plus-18 rating.

"Daryl is a true warrior, and that his reflected in his plus/minus rating," Thomas said. "He comes to play every night and adds a reliable element to our blue line. We look for him to add to his responsibilities this year."
