Wright had a very short professional career. It wasn't because he couldn't hack it. He was a fine player that opted to take care
of life outside of hockey first. And he did that immediately after being drafted, choosing to attend the University of Toronto after
completing his stint with the Toronto Marlboros.
While at the U of Toronto, he was a star there, earning CIAU All-Canadian honors twice, and also won the CIAU
championship all 4 of his years there. He also played on their golf team. In the end, he would earn a degree in Health and
Physical Education.
While with the Scouts, he spent nearly the entire season with the AHL's Providence Reds, amassing 70 points and leading the
Reds to the North Division title.
He would be inducted in the U of Toronto's Hall of Fame in 1994.
