Flames are betting on Joe Iginla’s potential, not his past performance
In the National Hockey League’s annual entry draft, players get selected by clubs for any number of reasons. Sometimes they’ve ripped it offensively in their draft year.

Versatile Flames first-rounder Jack Hextall brings skill and a high motor to their forward group
Every few seasons, the Calgary Flames make a selection out of the United States Hockey League, America’s top major-junior circuit, that turns out to be pretty savvy.

Flames Draft 2026: A history of the 132nd overall pick

It’s the first time they’ll select 132nd overall…
Flames Draft 2026: A history of the 100th overall pick
