Lanny King McDonald is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Rockies and Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League. He played over 1,100 games during a 16-year career in which he scored 500 goals and over 1,000 points. His total of 66 goals in 1982?83 remains the Flames' franchise record. McDonald was selected by the Maple Leafs as the fourth overall pick in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft and established himself as an offensive forward with three consecutive 40-goal seasons in Toronto in the mid-1970s. His trade to the Rockies in 1979 resulted in Toronto fans protesting the deal in front of Maple Leaf Gardens. He played parts of three seasons in Denver before he was sent to Calgary in 1981 where he spent the remainder of his career. He captained the Flames to a Stanley Cup championship in his final season of 1988?89. He is among the most popular players in Flames history and his personality and bushy red moustache made him an iconic figure within the sport.
