Fabiilli enters his third year with the Falcons for the 2016-17 season. Fabiilli, who took the team to the NCHA Title Game in year one, has the program looking forward to another season. Fabiilli guided the Falcons to the NCHA Slaats Cup Final in 2014-15, their first appearance in the championship game in the eight-year history of the program. CUW won 12 games in his first year at the helm, second most in program history, and posted an above .500 record for just the second time.  The Falcons reached the Slaats Cup Final after upsetting No. 4 nationally ranked Adrian College on their home ice in the semifinals. CUW posted a 5-3-1 record once the calendar turned to February, winning four of those games by one goal. In 2015-16 the Falcons won eight games and posted a 6-11-1 mark in conference play. CUW was guided by the play of Lexi Holman, a D3Hockey.com Third Team All-Region selection, the Falcons first in program history. In addition, Holman landed on the All-NCHA Team. CUW has five players who have received All-NCHA honors, and two have happened in two seasons under Fabiilli. Fabiilli's team was strong defensively in 2014-15 as they set a program record for fewest goals allowed in a season. In addition, he coached two goaltenders, Bridget Slater and Andrea Mizanskey, who had two of the better seasons in program history. Slater was named the MVP of the Slaats Cup Playoffs for her efforts over three games. In 2014-15 the Falcons also had senior Emily Heckendorf, who under Fabiilli's guidance scored 17 goals, a CUW single-season record. Heckendorf was also named to the NCHA All-Conference team, the fourth player in program history to achieve that honor. The Falcons also had Lexi Holman earn All-Freshman accolades, the third player in program history to achieve that feat.  The Falcons have sustained academic success as well under Fabiilli, with 23 players earning All-Academic status over the last two seasons. In 2015-16, CUW had a NCHA-best 14 players honored by the league for their strong academic performance. Fabiilli joined the Falcons after spending nine seasons as the Men's Hockey head coach at Northland College in Ashland, Wis. Northland is a member of the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association, the same league the Falcons compete in. During his tenure with the LumberJacks, Fabiilli coached five all-conference players, 56 all-academic team members, four all-freshman selections and one USCHO All-West Rookie Honorable Mention player. The LumberJacks set numerous individual and team records under Fabiilli's direction over the past nine years, including most wins in a season (2010-11). All-in-all, Northland set 35 new individual records and 67 team records during his tenure. Fabiilli also served as the school's Sports Information Director while at Northland. Prior to his time at Northland, Fabiilli spent one season as an assistant coach/co-head coach at his alma mater, Canisius College. During this season he helped the Golden Griffins to a second-place finish in the Atlantic Hockey Conference. Fabiilli played four seasons for Canisius and was named the school's Male Athlete of the Year during the 2001 season. He was the goaltender for the Golden Griffins and ranks in the top 10 in school history in wins, goals against average, save percentage, saves and shutouts. He graduated from Canisius in 2001 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in physical education. Fabiilli also earned a Master's of Sports Administration from Canisius in 2005. He and his wife, Stephanie, have lived in Ashland and will be relocating to the Mequon area.
