He was drafted by the Cougars in the first-round, 54th overall, in the 2017 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft.

Toman was in his second season with the Cougars and was seventh in team scoring with six points (3g, 3a) in 16 games. Last season, the Czech Republic product had 20 points (9g, 11a) in 66 regular season games. Toman was drafted by the Cougars in the first-round, fifth overall, in the 2018 CHL Import Draft.
