NHL experience is in abundance at Flames training camp

Alex Nylander is vying to become the third second-generation Flame ever
On a lot of levels, hockey is something that binds generations together – whether as players, fans , and sometimes as both – so it’s pretty fun when you see sons following their fathers into the upper echelons of hockey. In the history of the Calgary Flames franchise, there have been two sets of fathers…

On Monday, something quite important happened in Stampede Park, as Scotia Place construction hit a critical milestone.

Can Martin Pospisil carve out a role as the Flames’ fourth line centre?
It’s been joked that spring hockey, outside of the National Hockey League’s playoffs, is often of zero consequence.

The Flames hit the ice for the…
Is Hunter Brzustewicz the Flames’ odd defenceman out?
Training camp has officially begun, and we got our first glimpse of the Calgary Flames’ training camp rosters.

3 Flames who will benefit from the new NHL economics
Historically, NHL off-seasons don’t provide earth shaking news. NHL GMs tend to avoid league altering moves due to their conservative nature. But that changed this summer thanks to Daniel Brière and the Philadelphia Flyers. They single-handedly changed the economics of player contracts when they signed Anaheim Ducks centre Leo Carlsson to a five year, $90…

The Calgary Flames will begin the main portion of training camp on Thursday morning, hitting the ice for the first time with the more veteran group.

Since they arrived in town back in 2022, the Calgary Wranglers have had a great deal of success. In each of their first three seasons, the Wranglers qualified for the Calder Cup playoffs – and they won playoff rounds in their first two seasons.
