Rookie Reagan Fischer Earns Invite to Canadian Under-22 Conditioning Camp

HANOVER, N.H. - Freshman Reagan Fischer (Irma, Alta.) was one of 47 skaters selected to the women's under-22 strength and conditioning/skating camp, to be held April 30 to May 3 at Norma Bush Arena in Calgary.

The camp roster includes 12 players from Canada's silver medal-winning National Women's Under-22 Team at the 2009 MLP Cup in Ravensburg, Germany and 10 players who won a silver medal with Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team at the 2009 IIHF World Women's Under-18 Championship in F?ssen, Germany.

The 47 players will be put through fitness testing and skating drills over the course of the four-day camp. Off-ice sessions will not be accessible while on-ice times at Norma Bush Arena in Calgary will be posted at hockeycanada.ca at a later date. Please note that the focus for all on-ice sessions will be on skating techniques, and there will be no pucks on the ice.

Hockey Canada will also use the camp as an opportunity to get to know the players and give them off-ice training techniques, as well as proper nutritional guidance. Using the 2008-09 on-ice evaluation and performance at this camp, Hockey Canada officials will make their selections for an August under-22 camp, which will lead to selections for the National Women's Under-22 Team for the 2009-10 season.

In her first season with the Big Green, Fischer led all rookies with 26 points on 15 goals and 11 assists. Overall, she was sixth on the team. Her 15 tallies was third on the team and she was fourth in power play goals with seven on the season. Fischer's four game-winning goals was tops on the Big Green and her 15 goals on 82 total shots was second in shot percentage (.183).

Following the strength and conditioning camp, Team Canada will have its selection camp on Aug. 7-16 in Calgary in preparation for the MLP Cup in Germany on Jan. 3-10.
