Raymond Richard Chartraw (born July 13, 1954) is a Venezuelan-born American former professional ice hockey defenseman who played 420 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) between 1974 and 1984. He was a four-time Stanley Cup winner with the Montreal Canadiens. Selected tenth overall in the 1974 NHL Entry Draft, Chartraw was the first ever American skater drafted in the first round.

Chartraw was born in Caracas, Venezuela while his father was employed as an engineer.[1] Upon moving back to the United States, Chartraw predominantly grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania where he learned to play hockey before moving to Canada as a teenager to play junior hockey for the Kitchener Rangers.

Hockey career

Beginning his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens in 1975, Chartraw spent seven seasons with the Canadiens before being traded to the Los Angeles Kings. He later played for the New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers. Chartraw won a total of five Stanley Cups during his playing days: four with Montreal (1976 to 1979) and one with the Oilers (1984). Whereas he only played 24 regular season games and one playoff game in 1984 for Edmonton, Chartraw did not qualify for engravement of his name on the Stanley Cup. Chartraw also played for Team USA and participated in the 1976 Canada Cup.
