Cole Fischer

Age: 18 (on Dec. 23)

Height: 6-1. Weight: 190

Number: 9

Hometown: Luseland, Saskatchewan

Position: Defenseman

Last year: 3 goals, 11 assists, 111 penalty minutes.

NHL draft status: Eligible in June.

Quick check: Chiefs’ third pick in the ‘96 bantam draft, Fischer is versatile enough to fill in as a forward.

Coach’s comment: Like Mark Forth, needs a breakthrough season. He’s is a puck handler who has played well at times but in his third season, it’s time to step up as an impact player.”
