TORONTO — Henoc Muamba didn't have much use for his degree in information systems over the course of his 12-year CFL career.Muamba was a speaker at Toronto's Collision tech conference last month, an annual networking event that will be moving to Vancouver next year. He said that his passion for innovative businesses never left him, he just had to shelve it while playing professional football.

Muamba was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo but grew up in Mississauga, Ont., and went to St. Francis Xavier University before getting selected first overall by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, where he played for three seasons, in the 2011 CFL draft. The 35-year-old Muamba, who is also a commentator on TSN, said that the tech world"is completely different" than when he graduated from St. F-X.
