What the new Flames’ jersey numbers may hint about the incoming college prospects
Pals, the Calgary Flames began the 2026-27 regular season with a roster that was pretty similar to how they looked at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Monday Mailbag: Taking stock of the Flames three games in

Seemed to…
The mystery behind Flames prospect Jonathan Castagna’s unique nickname has been solved
Friends, it’s no secret that the hockey world loves nicknames. But it’s also no secret that a lot of hockey nicknames are pretty bland. Take the first syllable of a player’s last name, add an “s,” “y” and/or “er” and there you go. For example, the Calgary Flames feature players affectionately dubbed “Backs” (Mikael Backlund),…
Beyond the Boxscore: Flames continue to search for answers (and goals) after blowout loss to Seattle
The Calgary Flames continued their legendary opening season struggle, losing to the Seattle Kraken 6-1 for the second time this season – and it’s only game three.

What Ryan Pike read, watched and listened to in September 2026
The run-up to the start of the National Hockey League season is chaotic, and for someone covering a team, it involves a lot of prep, a lot of reading, and trying to figure out how to get yourself organized for the upcoming 84-game, 194-day grind that is the regular season. Despite all that, I was…
Flames Game Day 3: A trip to the Emerald City (6pm MT, SNW)
Third time’s the charm? The Calgary Flames (0-2-0, 0 points) have played twice, on Thursday at home and Saturday on the road. They weren’t very good against Seattle and lost.

Beyond the Boxscore: Calgary gets their looks, but can’t convert in 4-1 loss to Vancouver
