In the history of the Flames franchise, 606 players have tugged a red sweater over their heads and suited up for a regular season game. Of those, 22 played just a single game for either the Calgary or Atlanta Flames. We call them One Game Wonders.
Let’s talk about another One Game Wonder, Kay Whitmore.
An Ontario boy, Whitmore played four seasons for the OHL’s Peterborough Petes. He was a second round pick from the Hartford Whalers in the 1985 NHL Draft.
Going pro in 1987, Whitmore bounced between the Whalers and their minor league affiliates for much of the next five seasons – eventually landing a full-time NHL gig in 1991-92.
