Brick-by-Brick: Defenceman Angus Crookshank

Since relocating to Quinte Region in 2017-18, the Belleville Senators have proudly supported organizational development for their parent club in Ottawa by laying the foundation for more than 50 players and staff to graduate to the National Hockey League.

As the club continues to celebrate 10 years since its move from Binghamton, New York, the Sens are continuing with a new series called Brick-by-Brick, highlighting some of those graduates and their NHL successes, both within the Senators organization and with other teams.                 

Next up is forward Angus Crookshank, who has since moved on from the organization, but was originally selected by the Senators in the 5th round of the 2018 NHL Draft. He made his NHL debut for Ottawa on December 17, 2023, in Vegas against the Golden Knights, and scored his first NHL goal two days later, against the Arizona Coyotes.

Born in North Vancouver, BC, Crookshank came to the Senators from the University of New Hampshire during the COVID bubble season in 2020-21 and, after significant early-career injury struggles, went on to play more than 200 games over parts of five seasons in Belleville. Crookshank finished his tenure in Belleville as the club’s all-time leading goal scorer, tallying 77 goals and adding 72 assists for 149 points. With the NHL Senators, Crookshank collected four points (two goals, two assists) over eight games.
