Latest report reveals career update concerning top prospect Jake Fisher.
Ryan O'Hara from Mile High Hockey writes that Fisher has held his spot on our rankings since last year.
Coming off his first season with DU's 2024-25 rookie class, Fisher delivered a performance that was neither outstanding nor disappointing. He appeared in 42 of 44 games, recording 15 points on 8 goals and 7 assists.
"Fisher may not be the most technically proficient skater, but he moves well enough to stay connected to the play. What he lacks in fluidity, he makes up for with positioning, timing, and a quiet competitiveness that keeps him consistently engaged.
There's a subtle counterpunching quality to his game-he won't dictate pace, but he's adept at reacting to breakdowns and capitalizing on the space created by others." -O'Hara

Offensively, Fisher has a strong shot and the instincts to find soft spots in the defensive zone. He can finish when chances present themselves, but his production tends to rely more on the players around him than on his own playmaking ability.
He isn't a natural setup man; rather, he thrives in a supporting role, keeping himself in motion, providing passing options for puck-dominant linemates, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities when they're created for him.
"Defensively, he's solid and is very good at clearing the puck out of dangerous areas without putting his team in harms way. If he makes it to the NHL, expect him to be a bottom-six forward with potential for being included on an elite penalty kill unit." -O'Hara
He's like the hockey version of a race car driver who could start 800 consecutive races and still remain under the radar, dependable, low-maintenance, and always full throttle. You might not notice Fisher on the scoresheet every night, but he's rarely out of position or prone to costly mistakes. He straps in, does his job effectively, and keeps the team running smoothly.
