Left-winger Mike Lampman played parts of four seasons with three different clubs in the 70s. He was a decent offensive producer in college and the minors but was strictly a role player in the NHL.
Born in Lakewood, California, Lampman played four years at the University of Denver and was taken 111th overall by the St. Louis Blues in 1970. He played 18 games as an NHL rookie in 1972-73 but spent most of his time with the WHL's Denver Spurs where he scored 34 goals and was a second team all-star.
Part way through the 1973-74 season Lampman was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for John Wright. He only played 14 games for his new team then joined the Washington Capitals in June 1974 after he was picked in the Expansion Draft. Lampman was a decent checker on the woeful Caps and also toiled for the Baltimore Clippers of the AHL before retiring in 1977.
