Taylor has playedon nine different teams since getting drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 2004, bouncing between the AHL and the ECHL. Among the teams he's played for are the Bakersfield Condors, the Wheeling Nailers, the Texas Wildcatters, the Reading Royals, the Gwinnett (Duluth, Georgia) Gladiators and the Hamburg (Germany) Freezers.

He's only appearance in the NHL was in 2007 when he played one period for the Kings, allowing two goals on 10 shots.

For the past two years he's manned the pipes for the Abbotsford Heat. In 26 games so far this year he's won 18 games and has amassed a 1.77 GAA with two shutouts.
