Flames Best #24 Of All Time: Jim Peplinski

There’s been some quality players to wear the #24 over the years in Calgary. You could argue for Iggy’s one season with 24 on his back. There’s Craig Conroy in his second run with the Flames. My personal favourite, Jiri Hudler (MY MAN HUDLER!). Or even someone as recent as Travis Hamonic. All really good Flames players who’ve worn the #24. But none of them wore it as long or as well as former Flames Captain Jim Peplinski.

Peplinski was drafted by the Atlanta Flames in the 4th round of the 1979 NHL draft (same draft as Paul Reinhart, not a bad draft so far eh?
