Brock Higgs (21)

After skating out of the gate quickly he leveled off, finishing his first pro experience with 16 AHL games played, scoring 3 goals and 3 assists with a +2 rating.

It wouldn’t take much time after the start of free agency for him to pick up his first contract.

Not seeing any higher league options, he signed for his first season with Reading Royals.

Something went amiss though, because he would last only 11 games (1 goal, 3 assists) before being traded for future considerations to South Carolina Stingrays.

His term would last. After only 9 games despite scoring 3 goals he was dished for cash to Fort Wayne Komets.

He wouldn’t settle there either, because after another 10 contests (1 goal, 2 assists) he was put on waivers for release.

With their playoff hopes on the slide, Gwinnett Gladiators stepped in as his fourth team of his first season to sign him to a deal.

Maybe with zero pressure, his luck was due for a change, as he stuck with this club for the remainder of the schedule and connected for a goal and 7 assists in 11 games.

As his sophomore season approaches, the 23-year old has decided to stay in Georgia for 2015/2016 with the Gladiators.

If he can stick and start hitting the score sheet with more frequency like he did late last year, he should earn himself another look up the hockey ladder.
