Mark Dutiaume (born January 31, 1977), is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.
Playing career
Dutiaume was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was drafted 42nd overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft but has never played a game in the NHL. Instead, he had spells in the American Hockey League for the Rochester Americans, the ECHL for the South Carolina Stingrays and the United Hockey League for the B.C. Icemen. Dutiaume soon moved to the United Kingdom and joined the London Knights in 2001 and moved to the Sheffield Steelers a year later only for a brief spell before joining the Fife Flyers to play alongside his brother, Todd Dutiaume, for that season. "Magical" Mark Dutiaume as he is known in Sheffield returned to the Steelers in the 2002–03 season and became a fan favourite with the Steelers fans during his time in Sheffield.
In the inaugural Elite Ice Hockey League season in 2003–04, Dutiaume led the league in assists and points, leading the Steelers to the league championship. During the Steelers' disappointing 2004–05 campaign Dutiaume left Sheffield for Italy and joined Bolzano. However, after a poor season in Italy, Dutiaume rejoined the Steelers for 2005–06 and once again led the team in goals, assists and points. On May 19, 2006, Dutiaume joined then-Elite League Champions the Belfast Giants. After two seasons in Belfast, Dutiaume retired from hockey.
