Fresno Acquires Travis from Trenton

FRESNO, Calif. -- The Fresno Falcons announced that they have acquired rookie right wing Dan Travis, who played at Quinnipiac, from the Trenton Devils in exchange for future considerations.

The Falcons are the ECHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League and the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. Mike Haviland, who is one of two coaches to lead two different teams to the Kelly Championship, and John Torchetti, who was a coach and player in the ECHL, are assistant coaches for the Blackhawks.

Selected in the fifth round (141st overall) by the Panthers in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, the 24 year old has one goal and two penalty minutes in five games for Trenton which acquired him on Nov. 11 from Florida where he played three games.
