[edit] Playing career
Don Biggs was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1983 NHL entry draft. Biggs was unable to break into the line-up and only played one game with the team. In 1985 Biggs rights were traded to the Edmonton Oilers, but once again he was unable to make the team, never playing a game. In 1987 Biggs signed with the Philadelphia Flyers, and eventually played 12 games notching 2 assists. While Biggs never managed to become a regular member of an NHL club, he was a valuable member of many minor league hockey teams in the OHL, AHL, IHL, ECHL, and a European professional hockey club. Biggs experienced his greatest success as a member of the Cincinnati Cyclones from 1993–1999 and for a stint in 2002. During his time with the team he became a fan favorite and a local celebrity.
