Bonjour à tous;
Pour tous ceux qui se posent des questions sur le choix du CH au dernier draft, voici des extraits de l'entrevue avec HF:
At the conclusion of the 2005-06 season, he was named Mr. Hockey, an award given to the top high school player in the State of Minnesota. Several past winners of this award were NHL players like Paul Martin (2002), Jeff Taffe (1999), Erik Rasmussen (1995) and former Canadien Tom Chorske, who was in fact the first award winner.
Fischer, who played forward until he was 13 years old, also was named to the Press All State Team. Fischer’s team, the Apple Valley Eagles won the championship upsetting the league’s No. 1 team.
Known as a solid two-way defenseman, Fischer was generally not expected to go in the first round. The Habs grabbed him though because they appreciated his skating, his overall skills and especially his natural leadership.
The Head Coach of Team USA, Ron Rolston, had also very good words to say about Fischer after that game. "I did not watch him play except at this camp but I have been very impressed with him so far.
"I think that he is smart and he has got good vision. He makes the right plays at the right times and puts the puck right on the tape."
.S. Junior team assistant coach Phil Housley said of Fischer, "He is gonna be big. He is still young, he has a great future ahead of him."
"He will make the NHL," said an anonymous NHL scout talking about Fischer.
