Before the 2001/02 season he signed his first professional contract as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks . The Sharks used the Canadian in his freshman year in the American Hockey League with the Cleveland Barons . There Fibiger stayed two more seasons and ran in the 2002/03 season in 16 games in the NHL for San Jose. But he could not score a scorer point. After his contract expired after the 2003/04 season, he signed a new contract with the Ottawa Senators in the summer of 2004 . Due to the total failure of the 2004/05 season because of the lockout , Fibiger only played for the Binghamton Senators in the AHL.

For the 2005/06 season , the defender decided to move to Europe to the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg in the second German Bundesliga .
