Lamb Leaves Nanaimo: Lamb made headlines as an 18-year-old because of a dispute with Nanaimo part owner and interim general manager Real Turcotte. The much-publicized incident began when Lamb refused to dress for Nanaimo's Dec. 2, 1982, game vs. Kelowna because the team had fired head coach Les Calder and replaced him with Turcotte one day earlier. Lamb and Islanders captain Bob Rouse, who also refused to play in the Kelowna game, demanded that they be traded out of their loyalty to Calder. Rouse was traded immediately, but a deal for Lamb was more difficult. As the team tried to trade him, Lamb rejoined Nanaimo for its Dec. 4, 1982, game at Victoria. The situation was finally resolved in late December when Nanaimo traded Lamb to Medicine Hat in exchange for Glen Kulka and Daryl Reaugh.
Personal: Full name is Mark W. Lamb. ... OIder brother of former minor-leaguer Garth Lamb.
HOW HE GOT AWAY
FREE AGENCY: Lamb played out his contract with Calgary and became an unrestricted free agent after the 1985-86 season. He signed with Detroit on July 28, 1986.
