2006-07: The blue-liner appeared with the Notre Dame Hounds (SJHL) this season.

2007-08: A rookie with the Vernon Vipers (BCHL), the defenseman potted a pair of goals and 17 points, along with an impressive 152 penalty minutes.

2008-09: Bigos’ second season with the Vernon Vipers (BCHL), which was superior to his rookie season, saw the defenseman double his offensive numbers (8g+25a through 58 games). He also tallied 126 penalty minutes and took the BCHL title with the Vipers.

2009-10: Bigos skated in 36 of 37 games for Merrimack as a freshman as the Warriors won 16 games for the first time since 1993-94 and finished tied for sixth in Hockey East. He scored 4 goals with 7 assists and was +3 with 94 PMs. The Warriors split the first two games of their Hockey East quarterfinal series with Boston University before falling to the Terriers in a decisive third game.

2010-11: Bigos played an integral role for Merrimack as a sophomore as the Warriors enjoyed their finest season since joining Hockey East in 1989-90. Bigos skated in 33 of 39 games for the Warriors, missing six games with a knee injury, and was an imposing presence from his defense spot, using his size and combativeness to make things easier for Merrimack goalie Joe Cannata (VAN). Bigos was +4 with a team-leading 127 PMs and chipped in offensively with 2 goals and 6 assists. Merrimack advanced to the Hockey East championship game after finishing in fourth place and took Notre Dame to overtime before falling, 4-3, in the NCAA tournament.
