Forward Of The Month: Jared Fisher, Fort Wayne Spacemen

A returning USPHL Premier player, Fisher (‘00/Fort Wayne, Ind.) has been unstoppable early on. In just three - count ‘em, three - games with the new Spacemen, he has already registered 16 points. 

The majority of his eight goals have been scored in the high-traffic areas between the faceoff circles. Not only does he lead in overall points, but he has also been the No. 1 power-play man in the league with three goals and four assists with the man-advantage. He also leads the Spacemen in average shots per game with 13, and more than 65 percent of his shots taken are on target. 

The Fort Wayne Spacemen have added a slew of new players, both local and international, as the inaugural season for the junior hockey team nears.

Logan Robins, Lucas Robins, Jack Huffman, Lance Giovenco, Toms Barens, Immy Johnson and Jimin Kim are all now part of the United States Premier Hockey League team, head coach Kaleigh Schrock announced. The Robinses and Huffman were introduced during a news conference at the SportONE/Parkview Icehouse. Giovenco, Barens, Johnson, and Kim will join them later.

The Robins brothers join the team after playing together at Leo and the Parkview Sports Medicine Force. This last season, Logan was with the Indy Fuel junior team.

Carroll produced Jack Huffman joins the Spacemen days after his brother, Trey, signed with the franchise. 

Goaltender Lance Giovenco, of Kentucky, joins the Spacemen after playing for the Jersey Shore Whalers in the USPHL last year.

Giovenco's Whalers teammate Tom Barens, of Latvia, will also suit up for the Spacemen.

Immy Johnson, of Minnesota, has been picked up by Fort Wayne after playing for the now-defunct Tri-City Icehawks last year.

Rounding out this group of signings is Jimin Kim, who most recently played in the Czech Republic. 

Head coach Kaleigh Schrock says more additions will come over the next few weeks, as the Spacemen try to fill their roster before the Sept. 14 inaugural game on the road.

Skipjacks Hockey Club at the U18 level.
