He played senior hockey for the Edmonton Superiors from 1925 to 1928 and then turned pro with the Vancouver Lions in 1928-29. Through a complicated procedure, he was signed by the Boston Bruins in 1930 and embarked upon a seven and a half year career with that team. In 1931-32 he missed all but one game because of a broken leg.
In the middle of the 1937-38 season he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings for Gord Pettinger and then later that same season was sent to the New York Americans for Joe Lamb. In 1938-39 he was sent down to the New Haven Eagles and retired at the end of the season.
Beattie made a comeback with a Vancouver amateur team in 1941-42 and played for the Victoria Military Depot team in 1942-43 before retiring for good.
