Career
Chartraw was born in the Venezuelan capital Caracas , as his father was an engineer from the United States who provided infrastructure development aid in the South American developing country in the 1950s . During his childhood, the family returned to the United States and settled in Erie , Pennsylvania , where Chartraw learned to play ice hockey. The Chartraws later lived in the south of the Canadian province of Ontario . There the trained defender played with the beginning of the 1972/73 season for the Kitchener Rangers from the Ontario Hockey Association . Chartraw completed two seasons with the Rangers, in which he was able to convince after a solid rookie season , especially in his second year. With 61 scorer points from 70 games, the defender was appointed to the First All-Star Team of the OHA, and then in the summer of the NHL Amateur Draft 1974 in the first round in tenth overall position by the Canadiens de Montréal from the National Hockey League .
The American was immediately signed by the Canadiens de Montréal following the draft. In the course of his first two professional years, he was initially used increasingly by Montréal's farm team , the Nova Scotia Voyageurs , from the American Hockey League . In the high-profile defense association of the NHL squad of the Canadiens around Guy Lapointe , Serge Savard and Larry Robinson , he was initially unable to assert himself and only sporadically completed a few missions for the team. Nevertheless, at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1976, he won his first Stanley Cup with the French Canadians. From the beginning of the 1976/77 season Chartraw managed to get hold of a regular place in the NHL. He did not fill the intended offensive role from the OHA and AHL, but was mostly used in the third pair of defenders or as a right winger . As a regular he had three more Stanley Cup successes with the Canadiens between 1977 and 1979.
After a total of seven and a half years in the franchise of the Montreal Canadiens Chartraw center was 1980/81 season , when he does not come more to the train due to chronic back problems, in exchange for a second-round vote in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft to the Los Angeles Kings made . With the Californians Chartraw ended the season and was active in the 1981/82 season for both the Kings in the NHL and their AHL farm team New Haven Nighthawks in equal parts. During the 1982/83 season , the defensive player was selected in January 1983 from the waiver list by the New York Rangers , who thus took over his current contract. For the Rangers, Chartraw played only 30 games until January of the following year, before he was given in exchange for a nine- round vote in the NHL Entry Draft 1984 to the Edmonton Oilers . In the Oilers franchise, the American ran for both the cooperation partner Tulsa Oilers from the Central Hockey League and the Edmonton Oilers themselves. After the Oilers had won the Stanley Cup at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1984 - Chartraw was not officially part of the winning team, the American ended his active career at the age of 30.
