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 our final One Game Wonder, Matt Keetley.
Born and raised in Medicine Hat, Keetley was a Tiger through and through. He played his minor hockey with their affiliates up through midget and bantam, and after being listed by the WHL club he spent three seasons with them. His time with the WHL Tigers was fruitful, as he won two WHL Championships and made two Memorial Cup appearances (once as a starter, once as a backup) and earned selection by the Flames in the fifth round of the 2005 NHL Draft.
