Lamy first came into prominence on the speed skating scene during the 1907–1908 winter, and was seen as a worthy successor of the former amateur speed skater Morris Wood who turned professional in 1908.[2] In 1909, aged 18, "the Saranac Lake whirlwind", as he was nicknamed, had already taken over the reign as amateur skating champion.[3]
After Lamy turned professional, him and Morris Wood would race against each other in the pro ranks.[4]
Lamy also played professional minor league baseball for the Mansfield Brownies in the Ohio-Pennsylvania League (1911-1912), Charleston Senators in the Ohio State League (1913), the London Tecumsehs in the Canadian League (1914-1915) and the Newport News Shipbuilders in the Virginia League (1921). [5]
He was a speedy outfielder who hit around .300 in his 6 year career. [6]
