Career

Shields was a high-scoring player in junior hockey, ending his tenure as the league's second leading scorer. He joined Denver in 1986 and continued to produce. He was named WCHA Freshman of the Year after leading the Pioneers in scoring and was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars after the season. Shields' sophomore season was derailed by injury and he didn't get back on track until his senior season. In Shields' final year he finished in the top 10 in the nation and was named an All-American. Despite his efforts, Denver finished with a losing record and were knocked out in the conference quarterfinals. Shields retired as a player after graduating.
