Playing career

Raymond played one game in the National Hockey League with the Washington Capitals during the 1987–88 season, on December 9, 1987 against the Hartford Whalers. He gave up two goals in the two periods that he played.

In his first full IHL season with the Fort Wayne Komets, Raymond won the James Norris Memorial Trophy, awarded to the goaltenders with the fewest goals against in the regular season.[1]

Raymond split most of his time during the 1989–90 season between two clubs. He played 31 games with the ECHL's Hampton Roads Admirals and played another 11 games with their parent club, the AHL's Baltimore Skipjacks. Raymond went 17–12–1 with a 3.60 GAA, earning him named the starting goalie on the East Coast Hockey League's all-star team.[2]

Raymond later became a goaltender coach with the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL.
