Playing career

Upon completing his freshman year in 2009–10 with Northeastern University and selected to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team, Newton was signed as an undrafted free-agent to a three-year entry level contract with the Anaheim Ducks on March 17, 2010.[1] He was traded to the Colorado Avalanche from the Anaheim Ducks along with a conditional draft pick for defenseman Kyle Cumiskey on October 8, 2011.[2] He was then immediately assigned to AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters before finishing the 2011–12 season with the Avalanche's secondary affiliate, the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League.

On August 29, 2012, Newton signed as a free agent to his first European contract with a one-year deal with HC Eppan Pirates of the Italian second division Serie A2.[3] During the 2012–13 season, Newton scored an impressive 41 points in 45 games, to help the Pirates win the Championships and was selected as the League's best player.

On July 26, 2013, Newton returned to North America and signed a one-year ECHL contract with the Ontario Reign.[4] During the 2013–14 season he made a return to the AHL when he was loaned to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers for 18 games.

Newton decided to continue his professional career again in Italy, signing a one-year contract with Serie A outfit, HC Gherdëina on August 20, 2014.[5] In the 2014-15 season, Newton excelled as Gherdëina's best player, contributing with 24 goals and 52 points in 39 games to lead the league in both categories in scoring from the blueline. After Gherdëina's elimination in the Quarter-finals, Newton signed a one-year contract with Finnish Liiga club, Sport on March 7, 2015.[6]

His older brother Josh played in the ECHL with the San Diego Gulls during the 2005–06 season.[7]
