College Hockey:
Report: Biggs not returning for second season with Miami

USCHO Staff Report • May 3, 2012

According to a report in the Toronto Star, Miami forward Tyler Biggs will not return for his sophomore season and will instead pursue a pro career with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs drafted Biggs in the first round (22nd overall) last June and he went on to score nine goals and eight assists in 37 games with the RedHawks.

Biggs, who just turned 19, could sign with the Leafs, AHL’s Toronto Marlies or could join the Oshawa Generals, the Ontario Hockey League team that owns his junior rights.

This really surprised me, I don’t think he has the potential YET, to make an impact in the NHL or even the AHL…. think he could have used an extra year or two to fine tune his game.. but money calls.

He’ll go to the CHL, college hockey was a little too fast for him.
