Yzerman addresses signing former Spitfire Christian Fischer

Updated: Jul 5, 2023

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman addressed the media for the first time after a two-day free agent splash included the signing of former Windsor Spitfires forward Christian Fischer.

Yzerman feels bringing Fischer on board, along with Klim Kostin (traded to Detroit from Edmonton last Thursday and signed Saturday) makes the Red Wings bigger.


Fischer played for the USDP for two years before joining the Spits in 2015. In his lone season in Windsor Fischer scored 40 goals and led the team with 90 points. The 26-year old spent the last six seasons in Arizona where he accumulated 56 goals and 111 points in 398 games.

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
