Filder's Scoring Touch Earned the Watertown Native a Spot on Harvard's Hockey Team

Watertown's Trevor Fidler has made a name for himself in the hockey world, a world in which the Fidler name is already a familiar one.

The Fidler bloodline is strong in hockey, with Trevor's father and two uncles all playing college hockey in the Boston area and one, uncle Mike, played in the NHL. 

Trevor will soon finish his high school hockey career at Brookline-based prep school, Dexter School, and will be on his way to Harvard to play for the Crimson, according to a profile of Fidler on Examiner.com

He will start attending Harvard in the fall of 2014, according to the report. Fidler said he was drawn to the university in Cambridge.

"I love the coaching staff and the hockey is great as well." He hopes to pursue a degree in business and entrepreneurship, according to the report.

Fidler showed his scoring touch his last two years at Fidler. As a junior he scored 55 points, including 24 goals, in 26 games. This year, he added 19 goals and 35 assissts, for 54 points in 27 games. Fidler helped Dexter to a 21-1-5 record and a spot in the New England prep school Elite Eight Tournament, where the fifth-seeded Dexter fell in the first round to Kent School. 

Fidler is undecided about what he will do during the year off between prep school and college. He was a third round selection of the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL - a junior hockey league - but he may still stay around Boston.

"I am not 100 percent sure yet but I am keeping my options open. With two brothers and a sister we are all really close, so I am keeping my family in mind as well. Staying around Boston and playing is what I am leaning towards so far," he told Examiner.com.
