Undrafted center Brock Higgs(13) signed an ato to join Worcester Sharks after completing four years at R.P.I.

He struck for a career high 14 goals and 30 points in his final season serving as captain of the college team and earning a finalist nod for the Hobey Baker Award.

Generously listed at 5’11” 185 lbs. he definitely looks to be much smaller but is a tenacious puck seeking missile and knows how to get himself into the open areas for scoring chances.

He’s showing off his skills quickly.

In his first three AHL games he already has 5 points and is en route to a three-game point streak, including two multi point efforts.

The 21-year old notched an assist in his debut and followed it up with a pair of goals and then another tally and helper in his third appearance.

Where this hot start leads the future rookie will be interesting to monitor, but a smart forward thinking team is probably making inroads to get him under contract for the 2014/2015 campaign.
