Crotty played with the Brockville Braves of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) between 2015 and 2017. He won the CCHL Top Prospect Award following the 2016–17 CCHL season. He then joined the Boston University Terriers of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Hockey East conference.[1] In his freshman season in 2017–18 season, he put up one goal and seven assists for eight points.[2] The Terriers won the Hockey East championship and advanced to the northeast regional final of the Frozen Four tournament where they were knocked out by the Michigan Wolverines.[3][4] At the end of the season, Crotty was named to Hockey East's All-Academic Team.[5] He returned to Boston University for his sophomore season in 2018–19 and put up five goals and ten points in 38 games.[2] The Terriers were knocked out in the semifinals of the Hockey East championship by the Northeastern Huskies.[6] In his final season with Boston University in 2019–20, Crotty was named one of the team's alternate captains.[7] In 30 games, he registered four goals and nine points before the season was cancelled on March 12, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]

Professional

[edit]

Arizona Coyotes

[edit]

Crotty was selected by the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the third round, 82nd overall, in the 2017 NHL entry draft. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Coyotes on April 9, 2020.[9] However, due to the pandemic, a gap opened up from the end of his college career and the beginning of his professional one. In an effort to get game time, Crotty joined Sparta Sarpsborg of Norway's Eliteserien, playing his first game on November 12.[10][11] He played seven games for Sparta, registering three assists.[2] He returned to North America for the beginning of training camp. Crotty was assigned to the Coyotes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, to begin his professional career.[11] In his first AHL season in 2020–21, he tallied one goal and four points in 32 games.[2] He returned to the AHL for the 2021–22 season and scored four goals and nine points in 68 games in his first full professional season.[2][12] During the 2022–23 season, Crotty played in 64 games with the Roadrunners, registering 13 points. A restricted free agent at the end of his deal with Arizona, he was not given a qualifying offer and became an unrestricted free agent. However, he re-signed with Arizona on June 30, 2023, to a one-year, two-way contract.[13] He began the 2023–24 season with Tucson but was recalled by Arizona on an emergency basis due to Josh Brown suffering an illness in March 2024. He made his NHL debut for the Coyotes on March 24 in a 5–2 loss to the Dallas Stars.[7] He played in just the one game and finished the season with Tucson, playing in 55 games, scoring 3 goals and 13 points.[14]

Minnesota Wild

[edit]

An unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, Crotty signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Minnesota Wild on July 1, 2024.[14] After going unclaimed on waivers, Crotty was assigned to Minnesota's AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild, for the 2024–25 season.[15] He was named the team's captain for the season.[16] In 64 games, he tallied ten assists.[2] He was recalled by Minnesota on December 9, but did not play, before being returned to Iowa.[17] He was recalled again on March 23, 2025, but did not see any game time before being returned to the AHL on March 26.[18][19] He was called up for the third time on April 5 and made his Wild debut on April 12 in a 3–2 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks.[20][21] He was returned to Iowa to finish the season.[22]

Ottawa Senators

[edit]

Crotty signed a two-year, two-way contract with his hometown Ottawa Senators on August 25, 2025.[23] He was assigned to Ottawa's AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators. After spending most of the season with Belleville where he tallied three goals and ten points in 49 games, he was recalled on April 2, 2026, and made his Ottawa debut that night against the Buffalo Sabres.[24][25] He registered his first NHL point when he assisted on Fabian Zetterlund's third period goal in a 6–2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on April 7.[26] He played in six games with Ottawa, marking the one assists.[2] The Senators made the playoffs and faced the Carolina Hurricanes in the opening round. Crotty made his NHL playoff debut on April 23 in game three of the series, replacing Dennis Gilbert in the lineup.[27] He made the one appearance and the Senators were swept in four games in the first round by the Hurricanes.[2][28]
