After playing 3 years in the OHL for the Plymouth Whalers and Owen Sound Platers, he was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings. After one year in their system, he returned to school and played for the UNB Varsity Reds where he was a CIAU First Team All-Star, helping his team to the National Final. 

Colin then went to the DEL (German Elite League) where he played 12 seasons and over 800 games. He represented Canada at the Deutschland Cup, and played in 2 Spengler Cup Tournaments, one with Mannheim and one with Wolfsburg.

President & GM Steve Crowell said "Colin will certainly add much experience to an already great staff. Were looking forward to getting started with our Spring IDCamp on May 13-15 at the Dartmouth Sportsplex"
