College Sports Information Directors of America

Dave Fischer, assistant athletics director for communications and marketing at Michigan Tech, is leaving the University after a nearly 18-year career.

Fischer, who will join USA Hockey's staff as its director of public and media relations in Colorado Springs, Colo., began his career at Michigan Tech on July 1, 1987.

"Dave has been a major player in the overall development of Michigan Tech's athletic program," said MTU Athletic Director Rick Yeo. "He has earned the respect of his peers during his tenure and is very deserving of this next step in what, I am sure, will be a very successful career. Although we are going to miss his enthusiasm and dedication, we wish him the very best in his new challenge."

"Dave Fischer has done an outstanding job for Michigan Tech," said Dean Woodbeck, senior director of university communications. "We will miss his experience, his very positive attitude, and his sense of humor. I certainly wish him the best at USA Hockey."

"I've enjoyed every minute of my time at Michigan Tech," said Fischer. "and I'm most thankful to all the great people I've had the chance to work with over the years. Our family will miss the beautiful area and the wonderful people here, but we'll be back to visit often. The opportunity to work for USA Hockey is very, very exciting and we're looking forward to a new chapter in our lives."

A search for Fischer's replacement is underway.
