Born in Montreal, Quebec, Crevier played for Dawson College CEGEP before enrolling at Boston College, where during his four years he came off the bench for the Eagles. Despite his limited playing time the 7-foot Crevier was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the fourth round (75th pick overall) in the 1983 draft. He did not make team however and played instead in the Continental Basketball Association for the Toronto Tornados, along with fellow Canadian Jim Zoet.
