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.
Let’s take a look at Dave Lowry.
Originally from Ontario, Lowry spent three seasons with the London Knights. He was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round of the 1983 NHL Draft.
Lowry only spent a handful of seasons with the Canucks, playing two full seasons and slipping into tweener status by his third year.
