Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in yellow are those with the Scouts.
Stats in blue are those with the Rockies.
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
After a standout college career at St. Lawrence University and some marginal success with an awful California Seals team,
Croteau was given a fresh start with the Scouts. He would provide a wide-open style of play that wasn't seen all that often in the
NHL pre-expansion.

However, he would miss out on the Rockies' only trip to the postseason because of an injury.

He would take over as team captain for the 1978-79 season.

After leaving the Rockies in 79-80, he would play one minor league season before calling it a career.
