Bud McCaig

Bud McCaig

John Robert (Bud) McCaig (1929 - January 11, 2005) was a Canadian businessman and a co-owner of the Calgary Flames NHL franchise.

Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, McCaig dropped out of high school to become a truck driver, following in the footsteps of his father, John W. (Jack) McCaig, for whom he worked in the Maccam Transport Company.

In 1961, the company moved to Calgary and bought a competing company named H.M. Trimble & Sons, thus expanding their business into the rest of Alberta, and into British Columbia and Alaska. The company is currently known as "Trimac"; McCaig served as its CEO until his retirement in 1994, and later became chairman of the board.

In the 1980s, McCaig paired with Harley Hotchkiss and Alvin Libin to purchase a share of the Calgary Flames. McCaig died on January 11, 2005 in Barbados.
