In the fall of 1983, Britz signed a pro contract with the St. Catharines Saints, then the farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He dressed for 44 games with the Saints, compiling 23 goals and 39 points. His strong two-way play caught the eye of the Leafs, who called him up for six games to fill-in for injured players. However, he saw limited ice time with the big club and failed to reach the scoresheet. He is currently retired in North Carolina.
