Prince
George
Cougars
captain
Chris
Falloon
has
been
a
fixture
in
the
Cougars
lineup
and
the
city
of
Prince
George
for
the
last
four
years;
Now
he
is
also
a
fixture
in
the
record
books.
Recently
the
5-11,
190
pound
native
of
Souris,
Manitoba
played
in
his
300th
career
game
and
became
the
Cougars
all-time
leader
in
goals
in
the
same
week.
Chris
is
also
within
reach
of
being
the
all-time
leader
in
assists
and
points
which
would
give
him
a
clean
sweep
of
the
record
books
and
allow
Chris
to
leave
his
mark
as
the
greatest
player
to
ever
play
tor
the
Prince
George
Cougars.
I
had
a
chance
to
catch
up
with
Chris
and
this
is
what
he
had
to
say
about
the
records
and
the
season
so
far.
Free
Forum:
Who
were
your
favourite
NHL
players
growing
up?
Chris
Falloon:
I
would
have
to
say
Wayne
Gretzky
for
sure,
back
when
I
was
growing
up
the
Oilers
were
in
their
dynasty.
I
would
also
have
to
say
I
looked
up
to
Pat
Falloon,
my
cousin.
He
played
in
the
NHL,
he
is
a
good
role
model
for
myself
and
it
is
nice
to
have
an
NHL
player
in
my
family.
FF:
Describe
your
typical
gameday?
CF:
We
usually
come
down
to
the
rink
for
a
pre-game
skate
at
about
10:00
in
the
morning,
and
have
a
meeting
after
about
the
up
coming
game.
Then
we
get
the
afternoon
off
to
go
home
and
rest
up
and
get
a
meal
in,
then
we
head
down
to
the
rink
at
about
5:00,
5:30
to
get
ready
for
the
game.
FF:
What
do
you
like
to
do
on
your
days
off?
CF:
Off
days
I
don
t
like
to
do
too
much,
it
gets
to
be
a
pretty
busy
schedule
with
72
games
during
the
season,
its
nice
just
to
put
up
your
feet
and
relax.
It
s
nice
to
visit
with
the
billets
and
guys
on
the
team
and
relax.
FF:
Who
is
your
favourite
teammate
of
all-time?
CF:
There
have
been
lots
of
good
players
here
and
good
friends
over
the
years,
but
I
would
have
to
say
Dan
Baum
has
been
my
best
friend.
We
lived
together
for
a
year
and
we
were
always
roommates
on
the
road.
We
have
a
really
good
friendship
going,
we
still
keep
in
touch
and
I
talk
to
him
once
a
week
down
in
Columbus
where
he
is
playing
the
East
Coast
Hockey
League.
FF:
What
is
your
favourite
WHL
road
city
to
play
in?
CF:
I
would
have
to
say
coming
from
Manitoba,
it
s
always
nice
to
play
in
Brandon.
Out
west
I
enjoy
playing
in
Kamloops
for
some
reason,
maybe
its
because
of
the
Prince
George-Kamloops
rivalry
but
its
always
fun
