He was my second vote after Iggy.

Lanny is such a good example for how important off ice is for being a Mount Rushmore style ambassador to the Flames.



I am old enough to remember the cup win, but many of my siblings and their partners are not old enough. Yet when I brought this question up with them at the pub last night, they all mentioned Lanny.



Why? They all had great experiences of Lanny as a kid. Nothing to do with his career or hoisting the cup, all from his off ice work after he retired.
