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, Swiss defender Tim Ramholt.
Ramholt is a bit of a trivia answer, as he was the player the Flames drafted after they grabbed Dion Phaneuf in the 2003 NHL Draft (in the second round). The Swiss blueliner came over to play in the QMJHL in his draft-plus-one season, suiting up with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
