On June 1, 2015, Collins attracted the interest of the DEL, the German top flight, signing a one-year contract with the Krefeld Pinguine.[3] He then had his contract renewed for the 2016-17 campaign. Collins left Krefeld at the conclusion of his two-year stint and was signed by fellow DEL outfit ERC Ingolstadt in June 2017.[4]
