Richard St. Croix (born January 3, 1955) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender. He was formerly one of the assistant coaches of the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs. He has previously been a goaltending coach for the Dallas Stars, and an assistant coach and goaltending coach for the Manitoba Moose and St. John's IceCaps (of the AHL). He was a 4th round NHL draft pick, as were his two sons.
St. Croix was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 4th round of the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft after a junior hockey career with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). He was also drafted by the World Hockey Association Houston Aeros in the 13th round of the 1975 WHA Amateur Draft. He had been a Second Team OHA All Star in 1973.
St. Croix made his NHL debut for the Flyers during the 1977-78 season on February 16, 1978 at the Spectrum against the Minnesota North Stars. He played 7 games for the Flyers that season, while playing most of the season with the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League (AHL). He played 2 games for the Flyers in 1978-79 and one game for the record-setting Flyer team of 1979-80. In 1979-80 he also won the Hap Holmes Memorial Award, awarded to goaltenders playing at least 25 games for the AHL team with the lowest goals against average, sharing the award with teammate Robbie Moore. He was also named a First Team AHL All-Star that season. 1980-81 was St. Croix's first full season in the NHL, in which he split time as the Flyers' goaltender with Pete Peeters and Phil Myre. He spent 2 1/2 years with the Flyers before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1982-83 season in exchange for goaltender Michel Larocque.
