Friends, it’s time once again to do that hockey. The Calgary Flames will welcome the Edmonton Oilers to the historic Scotiabank Saddledome for a prospects clash, entitled the NextGen Showcase! The game is intended to be the centrepiece of each club’s prospects training camp, and you can imagine players on both sides of the ice will be…
Hockey is just hours away.

Monday evening will see the Oilers pack up a bunch of their rookies and head three…
Last fall, every player who had ever scored a season-opening goal for the Calgary Wranglers was on the roster at the start of the year. By the summer of 2026, only one remained. In the first two years the Flames’ AHL affiliate came to Calgary, Jeremie Poirier had the title of the season’s first goal…

Our general impressions The…
“It’s been really high-paced – practices have been hard”
Way back on June 22, 2007 in Columbus, Ohio, the Calgary Flames selected Swedish forward Mikael Backlund at 24th overall in the 2007 NHL Draft. Way back on Jan. 8, 2009, Backlund made his National Hockey League debut at home, playing 10:44 in a 5-2 Flames victory over the New York Islanders. During the 2026-27…
Since Craig Conroy became general manager of the Calgary Flames in May 2023, his club has made 33 draft choices. Up the road, the Edmonton Oilers have made 20. In the same span, though, Edmonton’s appeared in two Stanley Cup Finals. The contrast in directions between the two Alberta hockey clubs will be pretty apparent…
On Thursday, Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy finally confirmed a rumour that fans and media in this city have been discussing for weeks: Jonathan Huberdeau will not be ready for the start of the 2026-27 regular season. The veteran winger appeared in just 50 games with the Flames in 2025-26 before undergoing a season-ending…
The Calgary Flames will be one of the NHL's worst teams in 2026-27, and expect to see general manager Craig Conroy pull the trigger on a few moves throughout this season. One player who is almost a guarantee to be moved - Morgan Frost. Frost, 27, has just one year left on his contract at $4.7 million AAV, and owns a eight-team no-trade clause, so he'll have a little bit of say in the matter. Frost is coming off a solid season, scoring 22 goals and 43 points in 82 games, averaging 15:30 of ice-...
“It was good to be back … I thought they competed hard”
“I’ve still got to prove that I belong here and do my best on the ice every day”
“It was fast out there … it was fun and it was hard”
“All I’m focusing on is trying to beat the Oilers on Monday”
The Calgary Flames hit the ice for the first time officially in the 2026-27 season – well, their prospects did at least – on Saturday afternoon at the palatial Scotiabank Saddledome. 23 players participated in the main practice group as the Flames’ prospects began preparations for Monday night’s clash with their Edmonton Oilers counterparts in…
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…
In part four of this series we handed out three A grades to Craig Conroy for his work on the Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, and Ryan Strome trades. Will we be handing any A’s for the three most recent trades the Flames have made? Let’s dive into it. As always, I am going to hand…
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.

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…
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…
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…
