Great list! I had no idea this happened so often. There's a guy on the Penguins right now who last played in 2013-14. https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/c/czuczke01.html | ||
Nice list. Claude Lemieux and Ilya Kovalchuk are missing. | ||
Added Kevin Czuczman, Claude Lemieux, Ilya Kovalchuk and several others, mainly WHA refugees. | ||
Evgenii Dadonov is another one. | ||

Marc Tardif | ||
Added Tardif. | ||
Damn, Guy Lafleur continuing a literal first ballot HOF career doesn't count. | ||
And neither does Super Mario! Oh well | ||
2005-06 Ultra #246 Andy Roach | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) Spent five seasons in Germany and one in Switzerland | ||

Couldn't find a card for Bob Champoux ... one playoff game with 1963-64 Red Wings and seventeen regular season games for the 1973-74 Golden Seals. | ||
Good one...added as a no card exception. Thanks. | ||
@jmnovff Oh ok. My mistake. | ||
Larry Popein | ||
Honorable Mention: Mike Rosati I remember when the Rangers called him up from his junior team as an emergency back-up goalie for one game during the 1988-89 season. The game was televised and they showed him on the bench ,,, didn't play but at least he went home with some souvenirs. He got into one game for real with the Caps ten years later. | ||
Added Popein. Thanks theFalcon . | ||
Added Hamilton, Ronson, Foley, Morrison, Lafreniere, Jarrett, Muloin, Sutherland. | ||
