Fahey was no stranger to splitting time between the NHL and the AHL when he came to the Devils. He had been doing that
since he became a pro with the Sharks.
He offered some offensive skill. Back in college at Northeastern, he set the school record for most points in a season by a
defenseman, and that season, he also was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Trophy. His toughness would catch up in time, though,
registering as many as 146 PIMs in a season while with the Cleveland Barons, at the time the Sharks' AHL team.
His season with the Devils was a struggle, though. He did see time with the top team, but with Lowell, he only saw 28 games
(I'm trying to find if injuries were the reason why so few games.), but did get 9 assists.
He would move on to Chicago's AHL rep, the Rockford IceDogs for the 07-08 season and saw plenty of games that year,
including a deep run in the Calder Cup playoffs. He then jumped to the German League for 08-09, playing for Krefeld Penguins.
