At the beginning of his second season with Shattuck-Saint Mary's, Toews and teammate Kelsey Tessier left the team and school after being expelled for cheating.[2] Toews received an old copy of a chemistry exam from a classmate to use as a study guide for an upcoming exam.[3] When Toews wrote the exam, he was concerned about running out of time and wrote, verbatim, the answers from the old test.[3] When his professor noticed the similarities between Toews' answers and those of the old test, he was expelled as he had already been on academic probation.[3] As a result, both players moved to Superior, Colorado to play for the Colorado Outlaws midget "AAA" team of the Midwest Elite Hockey League, where they lived with their Shattuck-Saint Mary's teammate Brett Kostolansky's parents.[3]

In the off-season before his final year at Shattuck-Saint Mary's, Toews gave a verbal commitment to attend the University of North Dakota and play for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's ice hockey team beginning in the 2008–09 season.[6]
Heading into the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Towes was ranked 79th among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.[7] He had previously been ranked 71st among North American skaters in January 2008.[7] On June 21, 2008, Toews was drafted in the third round, 66th overall by the New York Islanders.[8]
