Ducks sign first-round pick Fowler

ANAHEIM – The Anaheim Ducks signed defenseman Cam Fowler to a three-year entry-level contract on Wednesday. Per club policy, no terms of the deal were disclosed.
 
“Cam is a proven winner, both at the major junior and international level,” said Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray. “He is an exciting and skilled player and we look forward to his continued development.”
 
Fowler, 18, collected 55 points (8 goals-47 assists) with a plus-38 rating and 14 penalty minutes (PIM) in 55 games with the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in 2009-10. Fowler ranked seventh among OHL defensemen in scoring to help Windsor finish first in its conference during the regular season. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound blueliner also added 14 points (3-11) with 10 PIM in 19 OHL Playoff games, helping the Spitfires to their second consecutive OHL championship and second straight Memorial Cup as junior hockey champions.
 
Selected in the first round (12th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Fowler won gold as a member of Team USA at both the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship and 2009 IIHF U-18 World Championship, where he was named the tournament’s top defenseman.

Fowler also played two seasons in Ann Arbor, Michigan with the U.S. National Training Development Program. In 2008-09, he was a member of the Under-18 team recording 40 points (8-32) with 44 PIM in 55 games.
