Honestly, the ECHL is not the most interesting league to study. It has often functioned as a dumping ground for extra prospects that couldn’t find a spot in the AHL, a place where they can keep themselves occupied while their contracts run out. Perhaps it becomes more than that one day, but for now, that’s what it is.
But there are still prospects there and they’re still worth talking about. Today, we look at three Flames prospects who spent the majority of their season in North America’s third tier league: Zach Fischer, Mason McDonald, and Nick Schneider.
Zach Fischer- RW
When we last checked in
Fischer had a lacklustre end to his WHL career.
