For the next four years, he played with Michigan State University in the NCAA and was the team leading scorer for three consecutive years. From there, he played with the Winnipeg Maroons winning the Allan Cup in 1964. He also played in the World Championships for Canada's National team in 1965 in Tampere, Finland. In 1972, Ross played in Russia with the Canadian Old Timers against the Soviet Old Timers.
