Davey enters the pro ranks after playing the previous four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Belleville Bulls, Sarnia Sting, and Peterborough Petes. In 240 career games in the OHL, the 21-year-old accumulated 682 penalty minutes, while also scoring 23 points on four goals and 19 assists. Davey led his team in penalty minutes in each of the last three seasons, while finishing second on his squad in 2004-05.

"Bobby Davey is a young guy that comes from a great pedigree in junior hockey," Falcons Assistant Coach and Assistant General Manager Ryan Mougenel said. "With us moving back to Selland Arena, we needed to add toughness and players that are hard to play against. Bobby is a player that brings that, and he should be a fan favorite this season."

"I'm pretty excited to get to Fresno to begin my pro career," Davey said. "I've heard that it is a great place to play, and I am looking forward to getting out there. My game is throwing big hits and protecting my teammates, but in today's game, you need to be able to do more than just fight, so I am looking forward to coming to Fresno and helping out on the back end."
