In the 102-year history of the National Hockey League, 348 individuals have played 1,000 or more regular season games. 44 of them, or 12.6%, have played some part of their career with the Atlanta or Calgary Flames. We call these players Long-Timers.
20 of these 44 players were already profiled in some detail as part of our Top 40 Flames countdown, but rather than skip over them we’ll acknowledge them here.
