Fielder moved to Nipawin, Saskatchewan with his Canadian parents at an early age and played junior hockey in Prince Albert and Lethbridge before turning pro.\n', '

A preeminent playmaker, Fielder\'s National Hockey League (NHL) career was short and not notable—he played a total of 15 games for the Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins—as opposed to his minor league career. He played a total of 22 seasons in the Western Hockey League (WHL), mainly for the Seattle Totems, as well as for the New Westminster Royals, the Salt Lake Golden Eagles and the Portland Buckaroos. He also played a single season for the St. Louis Flyers of the American Hockey League and had short stints with the Quebec Aces and the Edmonton Flyers.\n', '

In an era where there were only six teams in the NHL, thus barring many talented players from a shot at the big time, Fielder was the WHL\'s greatest star. After winning Rookie of the Year honors with New Westminster in 1952, he was a six-time league MVP (including winning the award four years straight between 1957 and 1960), the league scoring leader nine times (including two stints of three straight) and a three-time honoree as most gentlemanly player. His one season in the AHL in 1953, unusually enough, won him Rookie of the Year honors in that loop as well. He was drafted by the Houston Aeros of the WHA in 1972, but chose to remain out west, playing his final season for the Buckaroos in 1973 before retiring.\n', '
