Playing career

[edit]

Junior career

[edit]

Lamb split his first season in junior hockey with the Swift Current Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and the Billings Bighorns of the Western Hockey League (WHL).[1][2] Lamb scored 13 goals and 58 points in 40 games with Swift Current and 1 goal and 9 points in 24 games with Billings.[3] The Bighorns made the playoffs but were eliminated by the Calgary Wranglers in the first round.[4] Lamb registered one point (an assist) in three playoff games.[3] Known as a "pesky center"[5] Lamb played in his first full season in the WHL during the 1981–82 season with Billings. He registered 45 goals and 101 points in 72 games that season.[3] The team made the playoffs but were again knocked out in the first round, this time by the Lethbridge Broncos.[4]

The Bighorns were sold and moved to become the Nanaimo Islanders for the 1982–83 season.[6] Lamb began the season in Nanaimo, scoring 14 goals and 51 points in 30 games.[3] However, after management changes in December, Lamb was asked if he would liked to be traded and he agreed.[6] Lamb was sent to the Medicine Hat Tigers for goaltender Daryl Reaugh and defenceman Glenn Kulka on December 9, 1982.[7] There, he rejoined Russ Farwell, the general manager of the Tigers, who had been Lamb's coach in Billings the previous season.[6][8] Lamb scored 22 goals and 65 points in 46 games with Medicine Hat.[3] The Tigers made the playoffs, but lost to the Calgary Wranglers in the first round.[9] Lamb registered 3 goals and 5 points in the 5 games.[3]

In his first full season with Medicine Hat in the 1983–84 season, Lamb played in 72 games, scoring 59 goals and 136 points.[3] The Tigers made the playoffs and beat the Prince Albert Raiders in the first round.[10] Medicine Hat made it to the Eastern Division final where they lost to the Regina Pats.[11] Lamb added 12 goals and 23 points in the Tigers' 14-game playoffs.[3] Lamb was awarded the Frank Boucher Memorial Trophy as the WHL's most gentlemanly player.[12] He was also named to the East Division First All-Star Team.[13] Though he spent the majority of the 1984–85 WHL season playing professionally, Lamb was still eligible to play in the WHL. He was added to the Tigers' roster on February 10 and played in their playoff series against Prince Albert. The Tigers were eliminated by the Raiders,[14] and Lamb scored 3 goals and 5 points in 6 games.[3] However, Lamb and Dale Derkatch, who had also returned to junior to play for the Pats, led to opposition to the overage rule in junior hockey. The rule was changed to prevent what had happened with Lamb and Derkatch, forcing overage North American players to be returned to their junior teams by January in future seasons.[15]

Professional career

[edit]

Calgary and Detroit

[edit]

Lamb was drafted by the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the fourth round, 72nd overall, in the 1982 NHL entry draft.[16] Lamb made his professional debut with Calgary's affiliate, the Colorado Flames of the Central Hockey League, during their playoff run in April 1983.[17][18] Lamb appeared in six playoff games with Colorado, registering two points (both assists).[3] Lamb, along with Joel Otto, Gino Cavallini, and Mike Vernon, was assigned to the Flames' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Moncton Golden Flames, to begin the 1984–85 season after Colorado folded.[18] Lamb appeared in 80 games with Moncton, scoring 23 goals and 72 points.[3] Lamb returned to Moncton for the 1985–86 season.[19] He played in 79 games, scoring 26 goals and 76 points.[3] He was recalled to Calgary along with Vernon and Neil Sheehy in an attempt to shake up the Flames' lineup in January while the team was going through a slump.[20] Lamb made his NHL debut on January 9 in Calgary's 5–4 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks.[21] Lamb was returned to Moncton on January 10 after the one appearance.[22] The Golden Flames made the AHL playoffs and got to the second round. However, Lamb broke his toe blocking a shot in the final game of the series that they lost to the Adirondack Red Wings.[23] In 10 playoff games, Lamb scored 2 goals and 8 points.[3]

Lamb signed with Adirondack as a free agent on July 28, 1986.[24] Lamb began the 1986–87 season with Adirondack[25] and played in 49 games with them, registering 14 goals and 50 points.[3] After injuries to three Detroit Red Wings, Lamb was recalled to the NHL along with Dale Krentz on January 16, 1987.[26] He made his Red Wings debut on January 17 in a 3–2 win over the Quebec Nordiques.[27][28] He centred a line between Bob Probert and Ric Seiling.[27] Lamb registered his first NHL point assisting on Dave Lewis' goal in the third period of a 4–2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 31.[29] He scored his first NHL goal in the next game on February 1 on Tom Barrasso in the third period of a 6–1 defeat to the Buffalo Sabres.[30][31] He was returned to Adirondack on March 16[32] but recalled again by Detroit on April 2 after injuries to Ric Seiling and Billy Carroll.[33] He finished the season with 2 goals and 3 points in 22 games with Detroit. He remained with Detroit into the 1987 Stanley Cup playoffs and appeared in 11 playoff games, going scoreless.[3]

Edmonton Oilers

[edit]

At the beginning of the 1987–88 NHL season, Lamb was left unprotected by the Red Wings in the NHL waiver draft.[34] He was claimed by the Edmonton Oilers on October 5, 1987 with the 19th, and last transaction, in the draft.[35] He began the season in Edmonton and made his Oilers debut on October 16 in a 5–2 victory over the Calgary Flames.[36][37] He played in the following game against the Boston Bruins which the Oilers won 4–3.[38] He played only the two games, going scoreless, in the first month of the season before being sent down to the Oilers' AHL affiliate, the Nova Scotia Oilers, on November 5.[39] He remained with Nova Scotia for the remainder of the season, scoring 27 goals and 88 points in 69 games. He added five points (all assists) in Nova Scotia's five-game playoff run.[3] Lamb split the 1988–89 season between Edmonton and the Cape Breton Oilers.[a] Lamb began the season in Cape Breton[41] and bounced back and forth to Edmonton beginning in January 1989. He was recalled for the first time on January 18 and played that night against the Winnipeg Jets, scoring his first goal for the Oilers in the third period of the 9–4 victory.[42][43] He played in 20 games with Edmonton, scoring 2 goals and 10 points and 54 games with Cape Breton, scoring 33 goals and 82 points. Lamb also appeared in six playoff games with Edmonton, registering two points.[3]

For the 1989–90 season Lamb made the Oilers out of training camp, playing on a line with Jari Kurri and Esa Tikkanen.[44] Lamb had his first multi-point game of his NHL career on October 18, 1989, registering a goal and an assist in a 7–2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.[45] He marked his first multi-goal game in the NHL with two goals against Brian Hayward in a 5–4 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on October 29.[46][47] Beginning in January 1990, Vladimír Růžička joined the Oilers from Europe, taking Lamb's spot between Tikkanen and Kurri and keeping Lamb out of the lineup.[48] Lamb played 58 games with the Oilers, scoring 12 goals and 28 points.[3] The Oilers made the 1990 Stanley Cup playoffs and faced the Winnipeg Jets in the first round. In the second game of the series, Lamb who started on the fourth line, was moved up the lineup after Craig MacTavish was given a game misconduct penalty and removed from the game. He assisted on Joe Murphy's game-tying goal and then won the game in overtime beating Stéphane Beauregard on a breakaway.[49] He then scored the game-winning goal in a 4–1 win over the Jets in game seven to win the series.[50] Lamb and the Oilers then beat the Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks, before winning the Stanley Cup four-games-to one over the Boston Bruins.[51] Lamb registered 6 goals and 17 points in 22 games during the playoffs.[3]

Lamb began the 1990–91 season as one of the Oilers' best role players.[52] However, Lamb was in and out of the lineup for most of the season.[53][54] He appeared in 37 games with the Oilers, scoring 4 goals and 12 points.[3] The Oilers made the 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs, and in the second round versus the Los Angeles Kings, Lamb strained his shoulder in the second period of the series-clinching win on April 28 after receiving a hit from Tomas Sandström. He did not return to the game.[55] He played in the first game of the third round series versus the Minnesota North Stars, but was taken out of the lineup starting in game two due to the injury, replaced by Ken Linseman.[56] He returned to the lineup for game 4[57] but was scratched again for the fifth game in which the North Stars eliminated the Oilers.[58] He finished the playoffs with 15 games played, registering just 5 points (all assists).[3] The 1991–92 season began much of the same for Lamb. He was in and out of the lineup,[59] but eventually saw more consistent time, enough to play in 59 games with the Oilers, scoring 6 goals and 28 points.[3] The Oilers made the 1992 Stanley Cup playoffs but were eliminated in the third round again, this time by the Chicago Blackhawks.[60] Lamb had one goal and 2 points in 16 games in the playoffs.[3]

Ottawa Senators

[edit]

Lamb was left unprotected by the Oilers in the 1992 NHL expansion draft. On June 18, he was selected by the Ottawa Senators.[61] In the team's inaugural season in 1992–93, Lamb played as the team's number one centre, as every player on the team saw their role expand.[61] He registered his first point in a Senators uniform in their first ever game, an assist on Ken Hammond's second period goal in a 5–3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on October 8.[62] On December 17, Lamb injured a nerve in his neck in a game versus the New York Islanders.[63] Lamb returned to the lineup on January 12, 1993 and scored his first goal of the season in a 3–2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.[64] He played in 71 games for the Senators, scoring 7 goals and 26 points.[3]

Prior to the 1993–94 season, Lamb informed the Senators that he intended to play out the option year on his contract and become a free agent at season's end.[65] He served as the team's co-captain alongside Brad Shaw to start the season.[66] He was regarded as the team's best defensive player.[67] However, Lamb grew frustrated with his uncertain future in Ottawa and with Senators' general manager Randy Sexton.[68] By March 1994 Lamb grew so frustrated, his agent, Don Meehan, issued an ultimatum demanding a trade and refused to consider any return to Ottawa for the next season.[69] He played in 66 games with the Senators, registering 11 goals and 29 points.[3]

Philadelphia and Montreal

[edit]

On March 5, 1994, Lamb was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Claude Boivin and prospect goaltender Kirk Daubenspeck.[70] The Flyers were in a playoff battle and sought reinforcement. The Flyers' general manager, Russ Farwell, knew Lamb from junior.[71] Lamb made his Flyers' debut on March 6 in a 3–1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.[72] He scored his first goal as a Flyer in the game in the third period on Darren Puppa.[73] Despite Lamb's addition, the Flyers missed the playoffs.[71] Lamb finished the season with the Flyers, playing 19 games, scoring the one goal and 7 points.[3] During the lockout-shortened 1994–95 season, Lamb played 8 games for the Flyers, registering two points (both assists) before being traded to the Montreal Canadiens.[3] Lamb was initially part of the trade between the two teams that saw John LeClair, Éric Desjardins, Gilbert Dionne, and Mark Recchi swap jerseys on February 9. However, at the last minute his name was withdrawn and replaced with a third round draft pick.[74] He was even reported to have been part of the trade by some outlets.[75] Lamb was in fact, traded to Montreal for cash on February 11,[76] with the transaction coinciding with the Flyers claiming Jim Montgomery off waivers from the Canadiens on the same day,[76] leading some to record the transactions as the trade.[77]

Lamb made his Canadiens' debut on February 11 in a 3–1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins playing on a line with Turner Stevenson and Donald Brashear.[78] He scored his first goal with Montreal against Mike Richter on February 18 in a 5–2 victory over the New York Rangers.[79] He finished the season playing in 39 games for Montreal, scoring one goal.[3] He played one game for the Canadiens, his final NHL game, in the 1995–96 season on October 14, a 4–1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.[80] In total, Lamb played 403 regular season games in the NHL, scoring 46 goals and 100 assists for 146 points.[3]

IHL and Germany

[edit]

On October 25, 1995, Lamb was assigned to Montreal's AHL affiliate, the Fredericton Canadiens after Marc Bureau returned from injury.[81] However, he never played a game for Fredericton and instead was loaned to the Houston Aeros of the International Hockey League (IHL) in November for the remainder of the season.[82] He played in 67 games with Houston, scoring 17 goals and 77 points.[3] He re-signed with Houston on September 13, 1996,[83] and played in 81 games, scoring 25 goals and 78 points. He appeared in 13 games in the playoffs, adding 3 goals and 15 points.[3]

In June 1997, Lamb signed with EV Landshut of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany.[84] He spent one season there, scoring 7 goals and 28 points in 41 games.[3] He returned to North America and tried out for the Edmonton Oilers at their 1998 training camp,[85] but failed to make the team.[86] He returned to Houston where he was a player-coach.[85] In 79 games during the 1998–99 season, Lamb scored 21 goals and 70 points. The Aeros made the playoffs and in 19 games, he added one goal and 11 points.[3] Lamb and the Aeros won the Turner Cup as IHL champions that season, and were the first team to win the championship after playing every possible playoff game.[87] Lamb returned for one more season with Houston in the 1999–2000 season, scoring 15 goals and 61 points in 79 games. He added 2 goals and 9 points in 11 playoff games.[3] He retired in the offseason and joined the Edmonton Oilers as an assistant coach.[88]

Coaching and manager career

[edit]

In 2000 Lamb returned to Edmonton as a player development coach under head coach Craig MacTavish.[88] In 2002, Lamb moved to the Dallas Stars under head coach Dave Tippett as an assistant coach. He spent six years with Dallas,[89] but following the 2008–09 season which saw the Stars finish out of the playoffs, Tippett and Lamb were fired.[90] Lamb then became the head coach and general manager of the WHL's Swift Current Broncos from 2009 to 2016.[89]

On June 21, 2016, Lamb was named head coach to the Tucson Roadrunners, the AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes.[91] In his only season with Tucson, Lamb had a record of 29 wins, 39 losses and 8 overtime losses, collecting 66 points. He was fired along with Roadrunners' general manager Doug Soetaert at the end of the season.[92]

In 2018, he was hired as the general manager of the Prince George Cougars in the WHL, and was elevated to the head coaching position a year later.[93][94] In 2024, Lamb was named the WHL coach and executive of the year.[95]
