Career

youth

Doug Crossman played in his youth for the Ottawa 67’s in the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League (OMJHL) after playing for the London Knights in the same league in 1977 . In the 1979 NHL Entry Draft , the Chicago Black Hawks selected him in 112th position, but his breakthrough in the OMJHL only came in the following season 1979/80. That year, the defender scored 116 points and was consequently elected to the OMJHL First All-Star Team while participating in the 1980 World Junior Championship with the U20 national team of Canada .

Chicago and Philadelphia

At the beginning of the 1980/81 season, Crossman switched to the organization of the Black Hawks, who first used him in their farm team , the New Brunswick Hawks , in the American Hockey League (AHL). From the following year, however, the defender established himself in the Chicago squad and was henceforth regularly used in the National Hockey League (NHL). After only three years, however, the Canadian was handed over to the Philadelphia Flyers in June 1983, including a second-round vote in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft , who in turn transferred Behn Wilson to the Black Hawks. With the Flyers Crossman was active for five years and completed most of his career in the NHL for the team. He also reached the final of the Stanley Cup with the team in 1985 and 1987 , but lost to the Edmonton Oilers there . In addition, Crossman made his debut for the senior team of his home country at the Canada Cup in 1987 and won the gold medal there with the team.

Constant changes and end of career

In September 1988 he was given to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Jay Wells . After a season in Los Angeles, the Kings sent him to the New York Islanders in May 1989 , making Crossman part of a future considerations , in which the Islanders received Mark Fitzpatrick and Wayne McBean as well as Kelly Hrudey to Los in February 1989 Angeles. In New York, Crossman came in 1989/90 with 59 points in 80 games on his best personal NHL statistic, but was nevertheless transferred to the Hartford Whalers in November 1990 in exchange for Ray Ferraro . The Whalers in turn gave the defender to the Detroit Red Wings only a little later in February 1991 and received Doug Houda in return . In Detroit, Crossman came to only 26 missions in the 1991/92 season and was subsequently given to the Nordiques de Québec along with Dennis Vial for financial compensation . However, this commitment took place in view of the upcoming NHL Expansion Draft in 1992 , in which Crossman was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning . For the newly founded Lightning, the Canadian was on the ice in 40 games before he was transferred to the St. Louis Blues in January 1993 with Basil McRae and a four-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 1996 , who sent Jason Ruff to Tampa for it. The Blues became the eighth NHL team in the last four and a half years with which Crossman was under contract; but at the same time also to the last.

After the 1993/94 season, the Canadian left the NHL and let his career fade away in the following two years in the AHL and the International Hockey League (IHL) with the Denver Grizzlies , Baltimore Bandits and Chicago Wolves . He won the IHL playoffs for the Turner Cup with the Grizzlies in 1995 . Crossman ended his active career, in which the defender had completed over 1000 NHL games and scored over 500 scorer points, after the 1995/96 season. In the 1997/98 season he was the head coach of the Port Huron Border Cats in the United Hockey League , but did not appear as a coach in addition.
