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, Jarrod Skalde.
Skalde has had a fascinating life in hockey. An Ontario boy, he played junior for the OHL’s Oshawa Generals and Belleville Bulls. He was drafted in the second round of the 1989 NHL Draft by New Jersey.
He played pro hockey for the Devils from 1990-93, playing NHL and AHL games.
