I remember when I was a kid, my buddy and I would look up Flames players in the phone book. Sometimes you know you found the right guy if his name is unique (say, P Rautakallio). But we would also be pretty sure we found the right guy if the name only began appearing in the phone book after the player joined the Flames.
I don't remember all the players we found and where they lived but I do remember we found Paul Reinhart's phone number and his residence in Inglewood.
