In the latter part of the 1950's Maniago posted solid numbers with the St. Michael's Majors of the OHA for two seasons, prior to suiting up with the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen in 1959-60.
Maniago managed to double his previous NHL action totals from seven games to 14, but he once again was hockey's version of the travelling man, wearing the colours of Hull, Quebec and Spokane, all in the same season.
That very year, Maniago was between the pipes for 52 games, winning 21 of them, but more importantly, he won over fans and management with his acrobatic moves and lightning-quick reflexes.
