Calgary Flames where are they now: #1 Roman Turek

Can you believe the season starts tomorrow? Where has the time even gone!? I feel like it was just yesterday that Dougie Hamilton was traded, breaking my heart. Let’s move on from that please or else I’ll start crying. With just one day until the season starts, let’s play “Where are they now?” with a former Calgary Flames player who wore the number one, Roman Turek.

Since leaving the Flames in 2004, the goaltender announced his retirement the following year following the lockout season. Turek then went back home to the Czech Republic to play with his former team before the NHL, HC Ceske Budejovice, in the Czech2 league, while also announcing his retirement from the NHL.
