Jiri Fischer

Retired player. Currently the Director of Player Development for the Detroit Red Wings.

Autograph received in a trade from a fellow collector.

Jiri Fischer played 305 games for the Detroit Red Wings. In a game in November 2005, Fischer went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the bench. He was resuscitated, and the game was postponed. Fischer continued having heart abnormalities, and retired. He is now the Director of Player Development for the Red Wings.

This card was traded to me by fellow autograph blogger JonWayne, who is a big Red Wings fan.
