Eizenman to Showcase Skills in AHL

Fresno, Calif. -- The Fresno Falcons announced today that rookie center Oren Eizenman, who played at Rensselaer, has been loaned to the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.   

Eizenman leads Fresno this season in goals (24), points (52), power-play goals (10) and game-winning goals (5). His 52 points are tied for first among all ECHL rookies, and he ranks second among first-year players with 24 goals.  

The 22-year-old was honored by the ECHL as the Rookie of the Month in December, and as Player of the Month in January. Eizenman also represented the Falcons at last month's ECHL All-Star Game, where he scored two goals in the National Conference's 10-7 win.  

Eizenman is the second Falcon to earn an AHL call-up in the last three days, following Kenny MacAulay, who was loaned to the Rockford IceHogs on Wednesday.  

The Falcons return to action on Friday, hosting the Utah Grizzlies at 7:30 p.m. It's Camp Out For Cans Night, presented by Sierra Vista Mall and Wilks Broadcasting. All fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the game to donate to the Community Food Bank.
