He signed a three-year entry level contract with the Coyotes on April 9, 2020. [3] 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, 2020. [5] [6] 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. [6] He returned to the AHL for the 2021–22 season. [7] 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. [8]

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. [4] He played in just the one game and finished the season with Tucson, playing in 55 games, scoring 3 goals and 13 points. [9]

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. [9]
