Bobby Crawford (ice hockey)

Robert "Bobby" Crawford (born May 27, 1960 in Long Island, New York) is a retired American ice hockey right winger.

After the WJC, Crawford decided to head to Canada to compete at higher levels and joined the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey Association.

He only scored one assist in his next ten games and was sent back down to the Rockies' affiliate the Fort Worth Texans of the Central Hockey League.

After that season, Crawford was released from his contract and he quickly signed as a free agent with the Detroit Red Wings in June 1982.

Crawford started out the season with the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League where he regained his scoring touch.

Back in the minors, Crawford increased his scoring during the six game playoff series against the Fredericton Express, but despite his seven points, Adirondack failed to make it out of the first round.

He later joined EHC Olten for the 1984–85 and 1985–86 seasons before moving on to Germany, playing for EC Bad Tölz where he scored 137 points in 50 games.
