This coming May is the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta Flames moving to Calgary. To commemorate this occasion, we’re counting down the Top 40 Calgary Flames in history.
#14 on our list is Robyn Regehr.
Regehr was quietly one of the defining players in Flames history. Acquired in the trade that sent Theo Fleury out of town – he was selected from a list of prospects Colorado provided – he had made a lot of fans with his honest, physical approach to hockey during his time with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers. (Coincidentally, Jarome Iginla’s junior team.)
On July 4, 1999, Regehr broke both of his legs in a car wreck in Saskatchewan.
