Playing career

Originally a product of the Montreal Canadiens' system, Charron played twenty games with the Canadiens before he was traded during the middle of the 1970–71 NHL season to the Detroit Red Wings in the monster deal that sent Frank Mahovlich to Montreal. He played with the Red Wings until he was traded to the expansion Kansas City Scouts in 1974. Prior to the 1976–77 NHL season, Charron signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals, where he played until his retirement following the 1980–81 NHL season. He served as the Capitals' captain during the 1978–79 season. Despite playing in 734 NHL regular season games, he never appeared in a single playoff game, which was an NHL record until Olli Jokinen broke it early in the 2008–09 season.
