The nickname "Holes" is associated with Lockhart, but there are no contemporaneous uses of the term for him, and it appears to have been coined by hockey writer Stan Fischler sometime in the 1970s.[1]

Lockhart holds the records for the most five-or-more goal games allowed to opposing players, with four.[2]
