Chris appeared at the Dukes training camp in 2003 after a successful season playing minor midget with the Quinte Red Devils AAA hockey system.  The Belleville, Ontario native played mostly on the checking line but managed to score 15 goals helping the team to finish in first place in the regular season and added 5 more in the playoffs as the Dukes reached the East Division Finals for the third consecutive year.  He played in the 2004 Future All Star Game and also won the Matt Cooke Award for Dukes Rookie of the Year.

His second season with the Dukes saw him almost double his point production and helped lead the team again to their fourth consecutive East Division Finals.  He was named Captain of Team Canada that played at the 2005 Grand Prix Tournament in St. Petersburg, Russia, the first and last Canadian entry in 35 years.   A third season  with the Dukes would see him have a break-out season as he scored 41 goals and finished third in the OJHL points race.  Later that year Chris was selected in the NHL draft by the Chicago Blackhawks.  With two years of junior eligibility left he accepted an NCAA Division One scholarship with UMass-Lowell. 

After playing four years of university hockey he turned professional with the Mississippi RiverKings of the Central Hockey League.  This season he moved to the Fort Wayne Comets of the same league and has already exceeded his points total from last year having picked up 31 in 33 games helping the team to a first place position so far.  His pro highlight so far is a game back on December 10, 2011 against the Evansville IceMen.  The Comets won 5 to 0 with Chris scoring four goals and assisting on the other.  One of his goals was a short-handed penalty shot.  It had been seven years since the last time a Comet player had scored four goals in a single game.
