History
Undrafted in 2007.
2007-08: Regner played a much larger role as a top-pairing defenseman this season, after spending his first season of draft eligibility playing on a very deep Vancouver Giants team. Along with Jonathan Blum, Regner was one of the Giants two best defensemen all year. Regner really stepped up his play in the WHL playoffs, where he led the Giants defensemen in scoring, and finished second in team scoring. It was a real breakthrough year for him.
2008-09: Regner made great strides in his third season with the Vancouver Giants, turning in his best amateur performance to date. In 70 regular-season games for the Giants, Regner potted 15 goals to go with 52 assists, just off a point-per-game pace for a player that went undrafted in 2007. The 19-year-old rearguard has continued that pace into the playoffs.
Talent Analysis
Regner is a bit undersized, but moves the puck well, and has blossomed this season with increased ice time. He has good two-way upside, is very good at handling the point on the power play. Very dependable in his own end. Has good confidence and leadership abilities, and stays composed in pressure-packed games.
Future
Regner is an offensive defenseman.
