Boston University

One of the top offensive threats in the history of BU hockey, Mark Fidler made a tremendous first impression on campus before putting together a stellar career with the Terriers. A phenom from Charlestown and Matignon High School, Fidler led BU’s 1977-78 national championship team in both points (65) and goals (30) as a freshman en route to being named the 1978 ECAC Rookie of the Year. He scored in the opening minute of the NCAA title game against archrival Boston College and then added another tally early in the third to put the game out of reach and earn him a spot on the All-Tournament Team.
 
Mark followed his brother, Mike, to Comm Ave as part of a Charlestown-to-BU pipeline that served the program well in that era. A member of the 1978 and 1979 Beanpot championship squads, Fidler ranks eighth all-time at BU in points with 178 on 77 goals and 101 assists, as he added 40-, 39- and 34-point seasons following his legendary rookie campaign. He became the first player in program history to lead the team in points all four seasons, a feat that was matched soon after by John Cullen.
