[edit] Playing career
Taylor spent three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League playing for the Guelph Storm and Kingston Frontenacs before moving onto professional hockey. Taylor spent the 2007-08 season with the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL. He played in 23 games, posting a 13-5-2 record. He also had a 2.40 GAA, 0.921 save percentage and recorded 4 shut-outs. Taylor stayed with the Monarchs for the 2008-09 season and played 15 games, recording a 7-4-2 record. That year he had a 2.66 GAA and a 0.909 save percentage.
For the 2009-10 season Taylor was signed to a professional try-out agreement by the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL. He played in 9 games that year for the Crunch, posting a 2-4-0 record before he was released from the agreement.[1] He also had a 3.63 GAA and 0.896 save percentage.
The next year, Taylor signed with the Springfield Falcons. Taylor stayed with the team for the 2010-11 season and played in 4 games, having a 2-2-0 record. He had a 2.35 GAA and a 0.929 save percentage. He played the remainder of the season in Germany with the Hamburg Freezers. Taylor returned to the Falcons for the 2011-12 season. In 10 games with Springfield he posted a 5-3-0 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage, but there was a crowded crease in Springfield with Taylor, Manny Legace, and Allen York, and Taylor was bounced out. But it didn't take long for him to get signed as he was picked up by the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL.[2]
