Ultimately, Floyd did show that he possessed a lot of skill and a scoring touch. The only thing was he did so as a career minor
leaguer.
I know I said that he signed with the Devils after playing with the Amerks, but he only played one game there, so essentially, he
signed as an undrafted free agent after 4 seasons with the Petersborough Petes of the OHL. Had to include that bit of info in this.
In his minor league career, he had scored 30+ goals 5 times, and achieved 40 once: his first pro season when the Devils sent him
to play with the CHL's Wichita Wind. As well, three of those 30+ seasons were indeed with the Maine Mariners, and fell 1 goal
shy of having 4.
While playing with the CB Oilers, he was also an assistant coach. That would be his only season with them.
He would finish his career in the I, playing one season with the Phoenix Roadrunners and 4 with the San Diego Gulls. During his
last 2 summers with the Gulls, he also took to playing roller hockey, joining the Barracudas of RHI for a handful of games.
He went on to coach for the Detroit Falcons of the Colonial League for the 94-95 season, then followed that with 3 successful
seasons with the Huntsville Channel Cats, and one more with the United League's Flint Generals. I have nothing of him after
1999, though.
