Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

The Montreal native is a product of the RSL (Midget AAA) Lions organization, the same team that once developed fellow Sabres prospect Marc-Andre Gragnani. Picked by Rimouski in the 2004 QMJHL draft and later selected by Saint John in the 2005 expansion draft, Biega elected to enroll at the Salisbury (U.S. Prep) School to pave the way for a NCAA developmental route. He was a big reason for the Crimson Knights winning the New England Prep title, and was named the team’s MVP.

2006-07: Enrolled as a freshman at Harvard.

Talent Analysis

Biega is a stocky defenseman who can skate the like the wind and fire a shot like a cannon. He was considered one of the better skaters in the draft class. Has a nice physical side and is tough to beat one-on-one, but is primarily an offensive-minded defender. He is very spirited, and viewed as a vocal leader.
