Playing career

Crowley began his hockey career with the University of Minnesota, where he spent three seasons developing his skills and establishing himself as a standout defenseman in collegiate hockey. His strong play caught the attention of NHL scouts, and he was selected 140th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. However, before completing his college career, his NHL rights were traded in 1996 to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. [1] Crowley went on to play 67 games with the Ducks, where he contributed 5 goals and 10 assists, while also registering 44 penalty minutes. Alongside his NHL experience, Crowley spent significant time in the minor leagues, further refining his game with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the American Hockey League (AHL) and in the International Hockey League (IHL), where he suited up for the Long Beach Ice Dogs and the Grand Rapids Griffins. In 2001, seeking to continue his playing career, Crowley joined the Minnesota Wild organization. However, he did not crack the NHL lineup and was instead assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros. After appearing in just 11 games for the Aeros, Crowley decided to retire from the sport.
