I don't think so. I believe Backlund started that season in Sweden, then, he came over for the World Juniors and joined Kelowna afterward. I don't remember the circumstances, but he stopped in Calgary on the way and the Flames were short a forward that night, so he got his first NHL game before he played his first WHL game.
