I recall he sailed for Canada in a Laser, and played defense when it came to hockey. I don't know if it ever actually got called up, but I know he belonged to Habs orginization.

I guess maybe it was the Atlanta Olympics that he sailed in. I guess he didn't set the NHL on fire, but I wonder if he is still doing some kind of racing.

You are partially right, and partially wrong. A Canadian Olympic class yachtsman was drafted by an NHL team, he was never in the Montreal organization however.
The New York Islanders drafted Hank Lammens in the 8th round of the 1985 Entry draft. He stayed with the Islanders until the end of the 1990-91 season. After taking a year off to concentrate on Barcelona, Hank signed with the newly formed Ottawa Senators where he scored 3 points in 27 games during the 1993-94 season
Hank Lammens competed in the 1988, 1992, and 2000 Olympics as a yachtsman. He was elected to the Canadian Olympic Hall of fame in 1993. He is still sailing having won the Buzzards Bay Regatta this past summer in Massachusetts

Sailing is an Olympic sport?
Bob Gainey's daughter was an avid sailor and died last year when she was swept overboard off of a tall ship is the only related Hab sailing story I can think of.
