Crawford, a 58-year-old Stanley Cup winning coach, is in his third season as a member of the Senators coaching staff in 2018-19. With 18 seasons of National Hockey League coaching experience, he has served as an NHL head coach for 1,151 games.
Marc and his wife, Helene, reside in Cornwall, Ont., and have two children, Dylan and Kaitlin.
