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, Randy Turnbull.
A kid from nearby Bentley, Alberta – just north of Red Deer – Turnbull played his junior hockey for the Portland Winterhawks and was a fifth round pick of the Flames in 1980. He was the first Alberta-born player drafted by the Flames after their move north from Atlanta.
