History

2006-07:  with the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL, Falk posted 15 points (3 goals, 12 assists) in 62 games and 88 penalty minutes.

Talent Analysis


Justin Falk is a huge defenseman who sees the ice well with his elevated view. He knows how to distribute the puck, but as a stay at home defenseman has little offense to his game. He's not flashy, but very steady in his own end. Not looking for a fight, he won't back down when challenged. His skating gets a passing grade, good for his size.

Future

Increasing his physicality and improving his foot speed will be his mandates for the rest of his junior career.
