He played in 71 regular season and 8 playoff games for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League during the 1970s.

Signed by Toronto, he first appeared with the Leafs in 11 games during the 1972–73 season. He spent the next few years bouncing between the NHL club and its minor league affiliates in the CHL.
