Lamey returns to Flames

Rob Lamey became the club’s 3^rd longest serving member last season when he topped the 500 career games mark.  A fresh contract means his tenure will continue into the 2010-2011 campaign.  The 5’11”, 190lb forward took on the role of captain last September. He proceeded to put in the best offensive showing of his career when he registered 21 goals and 69 points to finish among the club’s top 3 point providers.  His 518 games have produced 150 goals and 223 assists which holds him 9^th on the club’s all time scoring list and 4^th relative to active players. 

 

The Guildford Jr product iced in his first Flames game in 1996 and continued to play in local colours until November 2001. He then spent the bulk of a five year stretch away from Spectrum with Isle of Wight Raiders.  The 29 year old returned to his home grown roots for 2006-2007 when he helped the Flames to the club’s first Premier Cup win.  He went on to star in the following season’s league title success and the return to Cup glory this past spring.  Those trophies were in addition to 7 others he had already bagged with the outfit.  During his original spell in Surrey he participated in a pair of treble winning seasons in 1997-98 and 2000-2001. He also rostered in the 1998 Benson & Hedges Plate win to ensure his mark on 10 of the 12 historical championships the team has secured. 

 

Prior to his full time jump to the senior ranks, Lamey was a top British junior international.  He skated in the world junior championships for team GB in 1999 and 2000. 

 

Head Coach Paul Dixon discussed Lamey’s value to the line up:

 

“Rob is a reliable 20+ goal scorer who is also mature and responsible enough to play in a diverse range of situations, including penalty killing.   Last year he took on a big task when he served the term out as captain.  He did it without any negative impact on the value of his game, which is not always how that situation pans out.  Sometimes expecting more from a player over time can be detrimental to their performance, but Rob has flourished while continually under greater weight of responsibility with the club.  We are glad to have him back and we look forward to his continuing impact on the team when we resume in the fall.”
