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.
2009-10: Regner skated in 50 games during his rookie season with the Syracuse Crunch. The blueliner scored 4 goals and 16 assists for 20 points.
2010-11: Regner skated in 56 of 80 games for Springfield (AHL) in his second pro season as several highly-regarded prospects forcing their way into the Falcons blueline corps. After seeing limited ice time and having a tough time staying in the lineup early in the year, Regner saw his role gradually increase as the season went on. He finished with 6 goals and 13 assists and was -4 with 17 PMs on a Falcons team that failed to make the AHL playoffs.
Talent Analysis
He has added near 15-20 lbs since being drafted and has improved his one-on-one defensive play as a result, gaining strength and confidence. He moves the puck well and has the ability to play the point on the power-play. Needs to improve his consistency.
Future
Will likely begin the 2011-12 season with Springfield but could possibly see time in Columbus if injuries arise and he shows continued improvement. His ceiling is likely a bottom-six puck-moving defenseman.
