Mark Lawrence Bavis (March 13, 1970 - September 11, 2001) was an American Hockey League left winger. He died whilst aboard United Airlines Flight 175 when it flew at the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
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.[2] They had been in Manchester, New Hampshire visiting the Los Angeles Kings' AHL affiliate, the Monarchs.[3] Both are memorialized at the South Pool of the National September 11 Memorial on Panel S-3.[4]
He is the namesake of the Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation.[5] [6]
