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 a One Game Wonder, goalie Scott Sharples.
Sharples was a ninth round selection of the Flames in the 1986 NHL Draft. He was a star goalie at the time for the junior A Penticton Knights – the precursor to the Vees – and backstopped them to the Centennial Cup in his draft year.
