He totaled 58 goals and 66 assists in 206 games through his first four seasons in the league. The Anaheim Mighty Ducks selected him in the third round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft with the 55th overall pick. He would play one more season with the Wheat Kings, increasing his numbers to 58 goals and 53 assists with 161 penalty minutes in 71 games.
