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, defender Robin Bartel.
Originally from Saskatchewan, Bartel joined the Prince Albert Raiders of the SJHL as a teen. He wasn’t drafted by an NHL team, so he went to the University of Saskatchewan for a year and then joined the Canadian National Team for the following season – he played in the 1984 Winter Olympics.
