The former Seafair Minor Hockey standout, who enjoyed an impressive run in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League with the Delta Ice Hawks, is among the Nelson school's recruiting class for the 2012/2013 season. The Selkirk Saints play in the B.C Intercollegiate Hockey League.

Fidgett, a 5-foot-11 winger, netted 16 goals and 28 points in 33 regular season games before having a leading role in the Ice Hawks run to the PIJHL championship, with 24 points in 19 postseason appearances. He also added six points in four games at the Cyclone Taylor Cup.

In three plus seasons with the Ice Hawks, Fidgett thrived during the postseason with 34 goals and 59 points in 49 games.

"Im excited for the opportunity to play the game I'm passionate about while furthering my education," says Fidgett. "I like to think of myself as an unselfish team player who can create opportunities on every shift using my speed and ability to read the play.

"I'm looking forward to helping my team achieve their goals while raising my level of hockey and working towards a degree in business."
