Flames send Tigers Fischer, Rassell back to Medicine Hat

By Medicine Hat News on September 19, 2017.

Two Medicine Hat Tigers had their NHL dreams put on hold for another season, as the Calgary Flames reduced its training camp roster by 21 players Tuesday.

Zach Fischer and Mark Rassell were both sent back to the WHL by the Flames, according to the Flames official website.

The two forwards will return to a Tigers team that fell in a Game 7 thriller against Lethbridge last season in the WHL playoffs.

Fischer finished sixth on last year’s Tigers regular season scoring with 63 points in 62 games. He added a team high 145 penalty minutes and was a plus 10. Fischer had 10 points in 11 games in the playoffs.

Rassell had 61 points in 72 games during the regular season, and seven points in 11 playoff games.
