When becoming a pro, it was believed that Charron didn't have the size to make it to the NHL. Boy, did he prove those critics
wrong.
Besides the Scouts, he played on the Red Wings prior to KC, and with the Caps after KC. He had also played a handful of
games with the Canadiens, but was largely in the AHL when affiliated with the Habs. So he did not play one playoff game in his
NHL career, having played the most NHL regular season games out of anybody without playing a playoff game. (734)
That's not the only distinction he has.
He became the Scouts' captain a few days after Simon Nolet was traded to Pittsburgh, the only other captain in team history. He
is also the Scouts' all-time leading scorer. I know it ain't saying much, but it is what it is.
Yup, he provided the new team a shot in the arm when there wasn't that many people on it that could.
After he retired from playing in 1981, he became a coach. He started off in juniors there, and made his way to the Calgary
Flames' bench in 1990. He has been an NHL assistant since, currently working on the Florida Panthers' bench.
