Falcons sign former Wolf Pack Taylor to AHL contractSPRINGFIELD The Springfield Falcons announced they have signed defenseman Jake Taylor to a two-year standard American Hockey League (AHL) contract.
Taylor spent the 2007-08 season with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack collecting three goals and 10 assists for 13 points and 129 penalty minutes in 77 games played. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound native of Rochester, Minn., ranked second on the Wolf Pack last year in games played by a defenseman and he also had a plus/minus rating of +15.
"Jake is a big, strong, physical defenseman who has the reputation of being tough to play against," Bruce Landon, Falcons president and general manager, said.
Taylor will be entering his fifth season of professional hockey.
