Northeastern University Athletics

Jordon Shields was a four-year varsity hockey letter-winner at Northeastern and one of the most prolific scorers in NU hockey history. He sits sixth on the Northeastern all-time scoring list with 166 career points, as well as fourth with 104 assists. Shields becomes the eighth of the Huskies' top 10 career point-getters to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
 
Before college, the native of Ottawa, Ontario. was a Junior-A star with the Gloucester Rangers from 1988 to 1992, while also being named Lester B. Pearson High School's Male Athlete of the Year in 1989-90. As assistant captain for Gloucester in 1991-92, he set a single-season record with 125 points. He was voted "Mr. Ranger" by his teammates and was also named the most valuable player of the Canadian Junior Hockey League. He was also a finalist for Tier-II Canadian Player of the Year.
 
Shields finished his Rangers career with 122 goals and 215 assists for 337 points in 213 games, leaving as the team's second-leading scorer all-time. He still holds several team records, including most assists in a season (79), most points in a season (125), most powerplay goals (49) and most playoff game-winning goals (four).
 
As a freshman for Northeastern in 1992-93, the left wing was a bright spot on a disappointing 10-24-1 Huskies squad, scoring 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points in 24 games. He led all Hockey East rookies in scoring, and also led his team with eight power-play markers. He was fifth on the Huskies in points – just two behind the leader – and second in goals – just one behind the leader.
 
Shields put up even better numbers in his sophomore season as he helped lead a huge turnaround for the Huskies in the 1993 94 campaign. Northeastern made the NCAA Tournament, where it pushed the eventual champion, Lake Superior State, to overtime. Shields had two goals and an assist in the game. In 37 games, he finished second on the team in goals (15), assists (29), and points (44). His 77 points through his first two seasons was the highest total by any Husky in his freshman and sophomore campaigns since NU's all-time leading scorer Jim Martel.
 
In 1994-95, Shields set his career highest in goals (21) and points (46) while also putting up 25 assists in 35 games. During the season, he received Hockey East Player of the Week honors after putting up three goals and five assists in a pair of games against Boston College. At the end of the year, he took home the Huskies Radio Award as the team's most exciting player and was named a Hockey East Second Team All-Star.
 
In his senior season, Shields led the Huskies in scoring. He played 36 games in the 1995-96 campaign, scoring 12 goals and a career-best 31 assists for 43 points, while adding six tallies on the man advantage. It marked his third straight season with 10 multi-point games. He also became one of six Huskies to put up at least 43 points in his final three seasons.
 
Shields finished his Northeastern career with 62 goals, 104 assists, and 166 points in 142 games, good for sixth all-time in points and fourth all-time in assists. He is one of only seven Huskies to score over 100 assists in his career. He had six career four-points games, and had an average of more than a point per game in three of four seasons, barely missing out on the feat in his freshman year with 33 points in 34 appearances.
 
After college, Shields played professionally in the East Coast Hockey League, as well as in England. He is now a constable for the Ottawa Police Service, having graduated from Northeastern with a degree in criminal justice.
