Playing career

edit

Before ever playing for the New Jersey Devils, Toms was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he would spend a few seasons before he was claimed on waivers by the Washington Capitals. On December 5, 1997, Toms scored the first game winning goal and first overtime goal in Capital One Arena (then MCI Center) history.[1] Toms would also play for the New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Florida Panthers.

In 2003, Toms moved to Europe, splitting the 2003-04 season with spells in the Russian Superleague for HC Severstal Cherepovets and in Nationalliga A in Switzerland with EHC Basel. Toms would go on to play the remainder of his career in Switzerland, playing two seasons with HC Ambri-Piotta, three with SCL Tigers and then finishing his playing career with Genève-Servette HC. He played for Team Canada in the Spengler Cup in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
