TORONTO — Henoc Muamba didn’t have much use for his degree in information systems over the course of his 12-year CFL career.

Now that he’s retired from playing, he’s finally getting to put his education to use.

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.
