David Fischer (born February 19, 1988) is an American ice hockey defenseman who is currently playing with EC KAC of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). He was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round, 20th overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

Amateur

Fischer was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and played for Apple Valley High School in the Minnesota State High School League. In 2006 - 2007, he played his first season as a freshman for the University of Minnesota in the WCHA. In 42 games, he recorded five assists.

Professional

Fischer attended training camp with the Vancouver Canucks in 2010, but was released.[2] He signed with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL just over a week later.[3] He played with Florida in both the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, going to the playoffs both years, and winning the Kelly Cup in 2012.

On July 17, 2012, it was announced that Fischer had signed a contract to play with the Heilbronner Falken of the 2nd Bundesliga in Germany.[4]

After a successful season with Heilbronner, Fischer moved up to the top German league the following 2013–14 season, signing a one-year contract for Krefeld Pinguine in the DEL on July 24, 2013.[5] He eventually remained in Krefeld until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

Fischer penned a deal with EC KAC of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL) in April 2016.[6]
