| Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise |
It took quote a while before Chevy entered the NHL. He played a couple years in juniors, he played 4 years at Miami of Ohio
(An avenue not many Canadian players took at the time, playing college hockey.), and when the Devils signed him, he was
playing for the Fort Wayne Komets in the IHL at the time.
He was in the middle of a huge logjam for goalies in New Jersey, but ultimately, he emerged the starter. He would become the
first goalie in Devils history to win 20 games in a season. I know it seems like a minor feat now with Marty Brodeur winning 40+
year in and year out, but remember the period. The Devils weren't good then, but were getting better.
He spent most of the 87-88 season splitting time with Bob Sauve, but when Sean Burke came in and carried the team on his
back into the playoffs, he became expendable.
He would only play half a season with the Jets (And not a good one at that.) before he was shipped to the Chicago
Blackhawks, where he lead their push into the postseason, having lost to the Calgary Flames in the Campbell Conference finals.
He would also play a few games with the Pittsburgh Penguins before signing with the Detroit Red Wings for 90-91. He retired
from hockey after finishing the season with the San Diego Gulls of the IHL.
No word on what he's doing now, sorry to say.
