Daily News | Flyers winger Tyson Foerster looking to round out his pro game with a physical edge
» READ MORE:“Last year he came to us injured,” Laperrière said. “And now this is in the past. He had surgery. He had a great year of rehab. He looks like a man now. He’s got those big shoulders and everything.”
“I feel like I’m a big player,” Foerster said. “I need to use the body a lot more and I think that’s what I’m going to start doing.” Still, Laperrière wants Foerster to show off his shot in rookie camp and not become too fixated on getting physically engaged by being “an idiot out there.” After all, his goal-scoring ability attracted the Flyers at the draft two years ago, and it would be a welcome addition to a Flyers roster in need of scoring help.
Wisdom, 20, called their response to his improved physical condition “a confidence boost.” After he hurt his shoulder at a Hockey Canada camp last summer, Wisdom struggled to get back in playing shape when he returned to his junior team, the Kingston Frontenacs. Going into the offseason, general manager Chuck Fletcher and assistant general manager Brent Flahr encouraged Wisdom to work on his conditioning ahead of his first full professional season.
