Following his high school days at Arlington High School, Chisholm was a two time All-American at Northeastern, and was voted to the All New England, All East, and Team MVP award for his three seasons.[1] Chisholm also won the Walter J. Brown Award for the most outstanding American college hockey player in New England. Chisholm still holds the Huskies' record for career goals and single-season goals (40), despite playing far fewer games than anyone else on the team's top career scoring lists; during Chisholm's career, freshmen were not allowed to play on the varsity.
Chisholm played briefly for the Bruins during the 1961 season with a 3-game amateur try-out contract. It would prove to be his only professional hockey action, and other than a single season of local senior hockey in 1966, he never again played organized hockey.
