12 players in the Hockey Hall of Fame played for the Calgary Flames. In addition to them, five builders who have spent time in the Koestad. Some of these legends spent quite some time with the flames, while some did not do that. Anyway, these 17 people are still part of the history of Calgary Flames. This list contains no one from the Atlanta Flames, which means that Albor and Pat Quinn are not on this list.
Players
Lanny McDonald – 1992
The very first Calgary Flame to become a member of the Hall of Fame was the leader of the Stanley Cup-winning team, Lanny McDonald. McDonald joined the Stamede City at the Flames halfway through the 1981-82 season. Lanny was a flame for 492 competitions and registered 402 points, together with them to the promised country in Leiden. Calgary loves Lanny, and the fans show that he is always in the dome.
Joe Mullen – 2000
Eight years later the next flame entered the prestigious hall. Joe Mullen won three Stanley Cups in his illustrious career, the first was with the Flames in 1989. The St. Louis Blues drew him after he was not plagued. He proved that his university success was not a coincidence and was the first player born in America to reach 500 goals and 1000 points. Mullen was more than a point per match with the flaming C with 388 points in 345 games.
Grant Forth-2003
Although more known for its time three hours north of Calgary, Grant Fuhr is another former flame that must be initiated. He only played 23 games with the Flames in the last season of his career. His Vezina and four Stanley Cups confirmed him as one of the best goalkeepers of all time.
Al Smith-2007
Almost two weeks ago we eliminated the five best trekking picks, and that list at the top was already Macinnis. The man who won the Conn Smythe, the only time that Calgary ever won the Stanley Cup. Macinnis went to St. Louis while he was the Flames franchise leader in games and points. His shot terrorized goalkeepers, and his bruises had opponents who fear him. Everyone in the competition respected Macinnis. After leaving Calgary, he added a Norris trophy to his resume before he was initiated.
Brett Hull – 2009
In 1984 the Flames Brett Hull set up in the sixth round, 117th General. He only played 57 games in a Flames uniform and registered 51 games – 27 goals, 24 assists. Hull showed flashes of his attacking bravery with Calgary; The Flames, however, exchanged him in 1988. sent to St. Louis for Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley, the management did not think the team could win with Hull. While they won the cup the next season, who knows if they would have won more with the Hall of Famer.
Joe Nieuwendyk-2011
The first of two flames that were inaugurated in 2011 was Joe Nieuwendyk. Undoubtedly, the largest center of the Flames of all time, Nieuwendyk, was an integral part of the Cup-winning team of 1989. In his 577 games, Nieuwendyk scored 616 points. At the Top Five Flames’ Draft Picks list, Nieuwendyk was in second place. A Calder winner, fourth in Flames scoring, and first in points per game for players to have played more than 500 games in the Flaming C. He was then eventually traded for another Flames legend and Corey Millen.
Doug Gilmour – 2011
The second that was recorded in 2011 was Doug Gilmour. While Nieuwendy made a name for himself with the Calgary Flames, Gilmour is more known for his time outside of Calgary. Originally prepared by the St. Louis Blues, Gilmour went to the 1988-89 season to immediately win the cup. In the regular season that year had 85 points due to 72 games. In his 20-year career, Gilmour played 1474 games and produced 1414 points, 450 goals and 964 assists.
Phil Housley – 2015
The second Flames defender to make the hall happened to be traded for the first time. In 1994 the Flames already exchanged Macinnis to the blues in exchange for Phil Housley. Housley played 328 games with 238 points. Although he was not at his peak during his two stints with the flames, Housley was still a very good defender. Housley, one of the most productive scoresemen of all time, confirmed himself as a Hall of Famer.
Sergei Makarov – 2016
Calgary has only two Calder winners, the first is Nieuwendyk, the second is the oldest winner ever: Sergei Makarov. Makarov was already a Hall of Fame-Kaliber player by the time he moved to the NHL. His Calder victory in 1990 caused a change of rule. They have changed the rules so that a player must be younger than 26 years old on 15 September. Makarov was a star in the early 90s.
Martin St. Louis – 2018
One of the most painful decisions in franchise history is the decision to buy out Martin St. Louis after he has signed him. After they had gone unsigned, the flames brought in St. Louis and left him unprotected in the 2000 expansion. He was not taken and then bought. He joined the Lightning in Tampa Bay and became an NHL and won the Stanley Cup in 2004 against you, knows who. On 5’8 ″, St. Louis was the first smaller player who made a name for himself.
Jarome Iginla – 2020
The greatest Calgary Flame of all time is without a doubt Jarome Iginla. Transferred to the trade that sent the aforementioned Joe Nieuwendyk to Dallas, Iggy is one of the most accomplished Nhlers of all time. The leader of the franchise of all time in goals, points and games played, Iginla is one of the best that never wins the cup. In the last part of his career he then tried to win the ultimate prize, which unfortunately fails.
Mike Vernon – 2023
The last flame to make the hall is the hometown of Hero Mike Vernon. A double Stanley Cup champion, the first in ’89 and his second in 1997 with the Detroit Red Wings, while also won the Conn Smythe. He had the chance to end his career back in Calgary and to play his last two seasons with them. At the time of retirement, Vernon was seventh in victories in the regular season (385), celebrated Playoff appearances (138) and fifth in Playoff victories (77) in goal congregations (138). In 2007 the Flames raised its number in the trusses of the Saddledome.
Builders
Bob Johnson – 1992
The first builder is “Badger” Bob Johnson, the man who turned the flames into a Juggernaut in the 1980s. He then went to the Pittsburgh Penguins and also turned into a powerhouse. Although he did not win the Calgary cup, he will always be remembered as an important reason why the Flames once won the cup. Johnson started a battle with cancer and unfortunately died in 1991. He was inaugurated in the hall in 1992.
Cliff Fletcher – 2004
From 1972, when they were the Atlanta Flames until 1991, Cliff Fletcher was the general director of the Flames. Building a selection that went to the final in ’86 and would win in ’89. His aforementioned boys who were mentioned earlier, and his ability to make a difficult decision to move legends have been paid off. He is currently a senior adviser to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Fletcher was anchored in Toronto in 2004 and recently celebrated his 90th birthday a week ago.
Harley Hotchkiss – 2006
During the Second World War, a Canadian merchant navy Marine, Hotchkiss settled in Calgary from Ontario in the 1950s. Hotchkiss led the group of investors who bought the flames and moved to Calgary.

A great person, Hotchkiss believed that his role in being successful was to return. He died after fighting cancer in 2011.
Daryl Seaman – 2010
Another original owner of the Calgary Flames was Daryl Seaman. He was a decorated war veteran, flying several combat missions in North Africa and received a quote for courage from the government of France. Together with Hotchkiss, he played a crucial role in building the Zadelle and bringing the Olympic Games to Calgary. The Hockey Hall of Fame renamed its archive and resource center to the “DK (DOC) Seaman Hockey Resource Center” in honor of Seaman. Seaman was an officer of the Order of Canada, initiated into the Alberta Hall of Fame, and awarded the Alberta Order of Excellence. He was also a very strong supporter of hockey programs from the base. He died in 2009.
Bill Hay – 2015
Bill Hay, a Calder winner and Stanley Cup champion in 1961, became the CEO of the Calgary Flames after his gaming career. While he went into the oil company, where Hotchkiss and Seaman got their start, Hay was never out of the game for long.
