University of Utah Women’s Division 1 Hockey has received a commitment from Defense Megan Fisch for the upcoming 2022-23 season.Megan has been playing hockey since she was 6 years old. She started out playing roller hockey for the Springfield Snipers and after a few years joined the local ice hockey team the Springfield Spirit. She played for both teams for the next 2 years, but ultimately decided on playing solely for Spirit in the Missouri Hockey Youth Division.
In 2018, she also joined the St. Louis Lady Cyclones 18u, playing in the Northern Illinois Hockey League. A year later when the Spirit moved to the Mid-America High School League based in Kansas City, Fisch transferred to Kansas City based girl’s team, the Kansas City Storm. In her second year playing high school hockey for Spirit, she earned the role of assistant captain. In Fisch’s junior year, she also began playing for a third team, the Midwest Selects, a spring team playing in college showcase tournaments.
Through the Community Olympic Development Program (now CSDP) in 2018, she became the first ever female to earn CODP Hockey Athlete of the Year. Her senior year with Spirit, she became the first female player to be awarded the Greg Skibinski Memorial Award; given to one senior player who demonstrated excellence in academics, community service, coachability, attitude, and hockey skill.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a Skatin’ Ute next year,” says Fisch.
“Megan is what we need in our defensive game. She’s strong and smart, and isn’t afraid to drive at the net with the puck. Her grit and intensity are exactly what we search for in a potential Ute.” Women’s Division 1 Head Coach Braeden Yeo said.
Fisch plans to study Business at the U.
Utah Hockey would like to welcome Megan and wish her the absolute best in the upcoming season!
