Biography[]
Born in Roslindale, Massachusetts on March 13, 1970, he started his career playing hockey while attending Boston University. After he graduated, he played with the Providence Bruins and Fredericton Canadiens in the American Hockey League, then the South Carolina Stingrays in the ECHL, previously the East Coast Hockey League. Bavis was also a scout with the Los Angeles Kings.
On September 11, 2001, Bavis was traveling from Boston to Los Angeles aboard United Airlines Flight 175 when it was hijacked and deliberately flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone onboard.[1] He was accompanied on the flight by Garnet "Ace" Bailey, director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings, who also perished.[2]
He is the namesake of the Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation.[3][4]
