Angus Crookshank (born October 2, 1999) is a Canadian ice hockey professional who plays as a left winger for the Utica Comets in the American Hockey League (AHL). He is currently under contract with the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Amateur
Crookshank developed his skills playing junior hockey with the Langley Rivermen in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). Following his concluding season in the BCHL, he committed to the University of New Hampshire Wildcats, where he competed for three seasons. During his collegiate career, he accumulated 35 goals and 63 points over 90 games. In his senior year, he earned recognition as a Third Team Hockey East All-Star.
Professional
Selected 126th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, Crookshank inked a three-year entry-level deal with Ottawa on March 17, 2021. He was then assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators. His 2021–22 campaign was prematurely ended by an ACL injury sustained during training camp. Returning for the 2022–23 season, Crookshank led Belleville with 26 goals and amassed a total of 47 points across 71 games.
Beginning the 2023–24 season in the AHL, Crookshank was called up to Ottawa in December due to injuries within their lineup. He debuted in the NHL on December 17, 2023, and netted his first NHL goal in his second appearance. After participating in seven NHL games and recording one goal and two points, he was reassigned to Belleville in January. He earned selection to the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic and was named AHL Player of the Month for February after scoring eight goals and collecting 14 points in just 12 contests. Crookshank concluded the season with 24 goals and 46 points over 50 AHL games. A subsequent recall in March was cut short by a season-ending injury.
On June 12, 2024, Crookshank agreed to a one-year, two-way contract extension with Ottawa and started the following season with Belleville. Multiple recalls to the NHL occurred due to injuries among Ottawa's forwards; he appeared in eight NHL games that year, tallying one assist before returning to Belleville.
On July 1, 2025, Crookshank signed as an unrestricted free agent with the New Jersey Devils on a two-year contract worth $1.55 million.
