Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
Schmautz had about a season and a half with the Chicago Blackhawks to start off his NHL career. That had been sandwiched
between years in the Western Hockey League. (The minor league version.) He would become a permanent NHLer in 70-71
when he joined the Vancouver Canucks midseason. That's where he developed his scoring skill and snarl.

By mid-decade, he would join the Boston Bruins and played there until 79-80, a year that saw him finish the season with the
Rockies. Fittingly so; he had played under Don Cherry while with the Bruins.

He had a good showing during his stint in Denver, but he decided to return to the Canucks to finish his career. He went out on a
good note, too; he had 63 points for the Canucks in 80-81.
