Career

Player career

Terry Crisp played in his youth for the Niagara Falls Flyers in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) and reached the final of the Memorial Cup with the team in 1963 . For the 1963/64 season, the attacker moved to the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL), in which he only came to three NHL missions in the following four years. By far the largest part of this time he spent with their farm teams , the Minneapolis Bruins and the Oklahoma City Blazers , in the Central Professional Hockey League (CPHL). With the Blazers he won the CPHL playoffs for the Adams Cup in 1966 and 1967 .

It was not until the big league expansion of 1967 that Crisp could gain a foothold in the NHL. The newly founded St. Louis Blues selected him in the NHL Expansion Draft in 1967 and from then on used him regularly, so that he established himself as a defensive center in the league. With the Blues, the Canadian reached three Stanley Cup finals in a row from 1968 to 1970 , but there was no chance against the representative of the established Original Six . He ran for a total of five years in St. Louis before joining the New York Islanders via another expansion draft ( 1972 ) . In March 1973, however, it was given to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Jean Potvin .

Crisp spent his last four and most successful NHL years in Philadelphia, winning the first two Stanley Cups in franchise history with the team in 1974 and 1975 . He ended his active career after two games in the 1976/77 season, where he had previously briefly coached the Springfield Indians from the American Hockey League (AHL). In total, he completed 646 games during his NHL career and scored 244 points scorer .

1987-1990 Calgary Flames
1992-1997 Tampa Bay Lightning

Crisp stayed with the Philadelphia Flyers from the beginning of the 1977/78 season as an assistant coach and held this position for two years before returning to the Ontario Hockey League and there the role of head coach for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds took over. He led the greyhounds for six years and won the playoffs for the J. Ross Robertson Cup with the team in 1985 , while he was personally appointed to an OHL All-Star team several times and was awarded the Matt Leyden Trophy as the league's best coach in 1985. As a result, he was promptly hired by the Moncton Golden Flames from the AHL and received his first permanent head coach post in the professional area. After two years in Moncton, Crisp rose within the organization to head coach the Calgary Flames in the NHL in 1987, succeeding Bob Johnson . In his second season in Calgary he won the first Stanley Cup in team history with the Flames, while he was personally immortalized on the trophy for a third time. Nevertheless, he was released after the 1989/90 season and replaced by Doug Risebrough .

After a sabbatical year, Crisp took part in the 1992 Winter Olympics as Dave King's assistant , where he won the silver medal with the Canadian national team . Then introduced him to the 1992/93 season newly founded Tampa Bay Lightning as the first head coach. The team, which was barely competitive as a newcomer to the league at the beginning, led Crisp into the playoffs once in the following five years before he was dismissed at the beginning of the 1997/98 season.

Since then, Crisp has worked as a TV commentator and expert, initially for TSN and later on broadcasts for the Nashville Predators .
