Fielderis the Western Hockey League’s lifetime point scoring leader with 2,010, and the assists leader with 1,398. Only Art Jones, among active players, has scored more goals. Jones has 535 and Fielder412. Ironically, Fielder’s 2,000th point came on a perfect set-up to Jones. Fielder was asked if he thought he could score 3,000 points. “I won’t be around that long,” he said, “but Andy Hebenton will.” Hebenton, Fielder’s rightwinger, is 43 and after a slow start which producing just 10 points in his first 19 games, scored 15 points in the…
