Long still finished with 100 points (31 goals, 69 assists) and plus-22 in 72 games played.
2008-09: In his final season with the Kelowna Rockets(WHL), Long failed to match the previous years’ highs. He still finished with a strong 91 points with 33 goals and 58 assists in 68 games. In the playoffs he was also solid, picking up 16 points in 22 games. Long turned pro at the end of the season prior to the 2009-2010 season.

2010-11: Long returned from his head injury for his second pro season and displayed the play-making ability of his junior days, albeit with Las Vegas in the ECHL. Long opened the season with San Antonio (AHL) but was scoreless and -1 in five games before being demoted to Las Vegas, where he spent the rest of the year. Long was the Wranglers' fourth-leading scorer, scoring 16 goals with 21 assists in 50 games and was -2 with 12 PMs. He skated in all five playoff games for Las Vegas and had 2 assists with a -2 plus/minus and 4 PMs.
