On September 14, 2012 he signed a 3-year, two-way entry-level contract with a cap hit of $665,000. He began the 2013–14 season with the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL and scored a goal and an assist in his professional debut with Greenville on October 18, 2013.[39] After scoring a goal and three assists in Greenville's first two games he was promoted to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.[40] He split the season between Greenville and Hartford, scoring 17 goals and 31 assists in 52 games for Greenville, and going scoreless in 13 games for Hartford.[41]

St. Croix became a free agent when his initial contract expired after the 2015-16 season and the Rangers relinquished their rights to him.[42] St. Croix elected to attend the University of Manitoba and play hockey for the Manitoba Bisons for the 2017-18 season.[43]

Playing style

St. Croix regards his vision as his best asset as a player, allowing him to set up plays, complete passes with little space, and to make fancy plays with the puck, and also views his playmaking and hockey sense as key assets.[5][7] He also positions himself well to take advantage of scoring opportunities.[7] He tries to emulate Patrice Bergeron as a player.[7]
