Steve Cruickshank

Steve Cruickshank (born September 30, 1959) is a Canadian retired ice hockey center who was an All-American for Clarkson.

As a senior, Cruickshank was a greater part of the offense and led the team in scoring as it had another first-place finish. Cruickshank was an All-American and awarded the ECAC Hockey Player of the Year but, unfortunately, wasn't able to get the Golden Knights out of they playoff rut. The team won one of five postseason games that year and fell to eventual champion North Dakota in the NCAA tournament. Cruickshank retired from playing on graduation and was later named to the ECAC all-decade team.
