Christian played prep school hockey at Warroad High School where he led the team to the 1953 state tournament finals. Christian then attended the University of Minnesota. However, since freshman were not allowed to join varsity sports teams at the time, Christian describes it as a “lost season.” After one year at the University of Minnesota, Christian joined the United States National Team. He led the United States to a gold medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics. During the Olympics, Christian led the team with seven goals and five assists as they became the first American team to play in the Soviet Union. After the Olympics, Christian had a brief professional tryout with the minor league Seattle Totems but chose to remain an amateur, returning to build houses in Minnesota instead. He kept playing for the Warroad Lakers for 23 years before retiring after the 1980 season. Four years later, in 1984, he was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.
In 1998, Christian was inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame as a player.
In 2016, both Christian and his son Dave auctioned off their gold medals with Heritage Auctions.
