20 Days, 20 Questions: Where are the Flames in their rebuilding process?
On a few levels, it feels like Jay Feaster got a raw deal. Best known in hockey for his stint as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, for which he has his name engraved on the Stanley Cup, Feaster joined the Flames as an assistant general manager in 2010 and soon succeeded Darryl Sutter…

Scotia Place: a street-level look at construction progress from early September 2026
Pals, it is September! Not only is it September, but the on-ice portion of Calgary Flames prospects training camp begins on Scotiabank Saddledome ice on Saturday. As that part of the club’s future is being built on the ice, a block and a half to the north the infrastructure side of the club’s future is…

The Calgary Flames have begun their 2026-27 season journey, with prospects training camp kicking off on Friday! In addition to a slew of the organization’s exciting young players coming to camp, there are a few names on the camp roster that might be unfamiliar to Flames fans.

Flames announce 2026-27 prospects training camp roster
Friends, welcome back to Calgary Flames hockey. Well, prospects training camp, at least. The Flames have announced their roster and schedule for prospects camp. This is the first year of the new collective bargaining agreement, which features more regular season games but has cut the pre-season in half. Combined with just a single prospects game…
Three-time Olympic medallist Meaghan Mikkelson returns to Flames radio broadcasts as colour commentator
Good news: QR Calgary has managed to keep the band together. For the past three seasons, the radio team for Calgary Flames broadcasts has been host Pat Steinberg, play-by-play commentator Derek Wills, and colour commentator Meaghan Mikkelson. When QR Calgary announced their broadcast plans recently, they announced the returns of Steinberg and Wills, but nobody…
20 Days, 20 Questions: Can the Flames new-look penalty kill remain strong?
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: 2025-26 was not a great season on the ice for the Calgary Flames. Not a ton worked for the Flames. They didn’t score very much at even strength. They were prone to untimely defensive breakdowns which made life tough on their goaltenders. Their power play was…
Grading every trade Craig Conroy has made with the Flames: part 4
Nine trades down, six more to go! In part three we looked back on some great trades made by Craig Conroy including the grand slam Jacob Markstrom deal. And now it’s time to break down some of his work from around the 2026 trade deadline. As always, I am going to hand out letter grades…
Flames goalie Devin Cooley is learning linear algebra in his spare time
Friends, at this point, very little you could tell us about Calgary Flames goaltender Devin Cooley would surprise us. A product of Los Gatos, California, hardly a hockey hotbed, Cooley has worked himself into a steady job as Dustin Wolf’s understudy in the Flames’ net through a lot of hard work and determination. For those…
20 Days, 20 Questions: Can Matt Coronato lead the Flames in scoring again?
The 2025-26 season was a weird one for the Calgary Flames in several ways. The Flames registered just 2.54 goals-per-game, the ninth-lowest tally in franchise history, and the lowest per-game output they’ve had since 2013-14 – appropriately, the last time the franchise embraced a youth movement. With so many established players headed out of town in…
Grading every trade Craig Conroy has made with the Flames: part 3
Six trades down, nine more to go. Let’s dive into trades 7-9. As always, I am going to hand out letter grades (A, B, C, or D) for each trade. For the sake of efficiency, I am only going to grade the 15 NHL trades Conroy has made. Pick swaps at the draft and minor…
Flames injury news: Jonathan Huberdeau won’t be ready to start the regular season after hip surgery
Folks, if there’s been one lingering question for the Calgary Flames throughout their 2026 off-season, it’s been some version of “Hey, I wonder how Jonathan Huberdeau is doing?” The highest-paid player in Flames franchise history, signed to the largest contract in franchise history shortly after his arrival via a trade with Florida in the 2022…

Gang, the folks at Sportsnet officially announced their national broadcast plans for the 2026-27 season on Wednesday morning, meaning we now have some clarity in terms of how hockey fans can watch their favourite teams from their living rooms in the coming season. For Calgary Flames fans, here’s what you need to know about following…
NHL Notebook: Fraser Minten signs seven-year extension with Bruins
The National Hockey League has seen a massive salary increase this off-season. A big reason for that was thanks to the Philadelphia Flyers’ offer sheet of Leo Carlsson earlier this off-season. Since then, Macklin Celebrini and Zeev Buium have also signed high-AAV contracts. The latest beneficiary is Fraser Minten, who signed a seven-year deal worth…
20 Days, 20 Questions: What does Simon Nemec’s first season in Calgary look like?
When it comes to the Calgary Flames and their rebuild process, general manager Craig Conroy seems like he’s working from the net out. He was an assistant general manager when Dustin Wolf was drafted in 2019, but he was in the big chair and pulled the trigger on 2024 trade that sent Jacob Markstrom to…
A Flame from the Past: Niklas Hagman
Do you remember Niklas Hagman? Every once in a while, we take a look at a player who once played for the Calgary Flames in a series called “A Flame From the Past.” This player has to have played a significant number of games for the Flames. I’ll put every Flames’ season into a Wheel…
Grading every trade Craig Conroy has made with the Flames: part 2
In part one of grading Craig Conroy trades we broke down his first three deals as GM of the Flames: Tyler Toffoli, Nikita Zadorov, and Elias Lindholm. Today, we will look at his next three trades. As always, I am going to hand out letter grades (A, B, C, or D) for each trade. For…

20 Days, 20 Questions: Can the Flames figure out Morgan Frost?
At the end of January 2024, Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy pulled the trigger on a trade. Headed to the Philadelphia Flyers were pending free agent Andrei Kuzmenko, bubble forward Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick and a seventh-round pick. Headed back to the Flames were winger Joel Farabee and, perhaps the big target for…
Grading every trade Craig Conroy has made with the Flames: part 1
I hope Craig Conroy knew what he was getting himself into when he took on the job as General Manager of the Calgary Flames in May of 2023 because his predecessor, Brad Treliving, left behind an organization in a state of disarray. The team was reeling from losing Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau within a…
Could a shortened pre-season actually benefit the Flames rookies?
The 2026-27 NHL season is the first year of the new collective bargaining agreement, and the pre-season schedule has been cut down from the traditional six to eight games to only four, with veteran NHL players who have appeared in over 100 NHL games can only dress for two of these. The Calgary Flames are…
20 Days, 20 Questions: What can Matvei Gridin do over a full NHL season?
The Calgary Flames started the 2025-26 regular season with a pair of teenagers on their roster for the first time since 1997-98. One of them, top prospect Zayne Parekh, had accomplished basically everything he could as a junior player and was essentially forced to make the leap to the National Hockey League because there was…
20 Days, 20 Questions: What does Zayne Parekh’s sophomore season look like?
Man, Zayne Parekh had a really, really weird first professional season, didn’t he? The ninth overall selection by the Calgary Flames in the 2024 NHL Draft, Parekh joined the club in 2025-26 on the heels of one of the most impressive couple seasons an Ontario junior defenceman has ever had. He had back-to-back 30-goal campaigns,…
NHL Notebook: Canucks sign Zeev Buium to eight-year extension
With the regular season quickly approaching, teams across the National Hockey League have ramped up their transactions. One of the biggest news pieces these last few days belongs to the Calgary Flames’ Pacific Division rivals, the Vancouver Canucks. On Friday, they extended defenceman Zeev Buium to an eight-year deal worth $9.38 million annually. 8 MORE…
20 Days, 20 Questions: Can Yegor Sharangovich re-discover his offensive swagger?
The very first trade that Craig Conroy made as general manager of the Calgary Flames had extremely promising early returns. On June 27, 2023, the Flames sent forward Tyler Toffoli, one of seven roster players heading into their final year before potential unrestricted free agency, to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Yegor Sharangovich…
