Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday!
This week in 1998, the Calgary Flames signed a little known undrafted forward named Martin St. Louis.
St. Louis, then 22, was playing for the Cleveland Lumberjacks of the IHL where he had scored 16 goals and 50 points in 56 games. St. Louis then joined the AHL’s St. John’s Flames, where he put up 26 points in 25 games, helping earn a shot with the big club the following year.
But over those next two seasons, St. Louis bounced between the NHL and AHL. He did, however, score 16 points in 69 games with the Flames over that time.
