The Calgary Flames should (eventually) retire Mikael Backlund’s number

On March 2, 2024, the Calgary Flames will retire Mikka Kiprusoff’s number 34. When it comes to jersey retirements, there’s no clear-cut requirement that qualifies a player. Generally-speaking, it’s meant to commemorate the individual accomplishments of a key individual in franchise history, and allows the hockey club and its fans to enjoy some good vibes…

Nick DeSimone was a great leader for the Calgary Wranglers last season in more ways than one

Nick DeSimone was another piece to the leadership puzzle for the Wranglers’ first season as a team. His group was joined by Matthew Phillips as the other alternate captain and Brett Sutter as the team’s captain. DeSimone had a four-game NHL look in his 2022-23 season but it was short-lived. Instead, he played a key…

Mikael Backlund knows Jonathan Huberdeau struggled but can bounce back

Mikael Backlund is an extraordinarily influential player in the Calgary Flames organization and has been for some time. Even though we’re still not sure what his future is with the team, we know that he has earned a certain respect in the locker room with anyone that comes in, rookie or veteran. Jonathan Huberdeau’s first…

Over at The Athletic, their prospect guru Scott Wheeler has been doing his annual deep dives into each team’s crop of young players. He recently published his list of the 10 best NHL-drafted goalie prospects. Among that list? Calgary Flames…

On this day in 2019, the Calgary Flames acquire Milan Lucic from rival the Edmonton Oilers

On this day in 2019, the Calgary Flames acquired physical forward Milan Lucic and a third-round draft pick in 2021 from their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forward James Neal. A battle of Alberta trade is almost unheard of, which is why when the two teams put down their swords to make…

Nazem Kadri looking forward to fresh start with Calgary Flames in 2023-24 season

The 2022-23 season wasn’t exactly a banner year for many players on the Calgary Flames roster, and that includes two of the forwards that former general manager Brad Treliving signed to long-term deals: Jonathan Huberdeau and, the subject of this piece, Nazem Kadri. Kadri’s numbers weren’t awful last season, but it was clear that he…

Mikael Backlund on his Calgary Flames future: ‘I want to wait and see’

It goes without saying that Mikael Backlund has been both very good and very important for the Calgary Flames, both on and off the ice. But Backlund’s contract is set to expire on July 1, 2024, potentially making him an unrestricted free agent. On the heels of an interview with Uffe Bodin in early July,…

Walker Duehr had a confusing AHL season with the Calgary Wranglers

Walker Duehr had quite a year of growth in the Calgary Flames organization. He skated in his historic first NHL game in the 2021-22 season and by the end of the 2022-23 season, he had a more regular role up with the Flames. The odd thing is, the skills he brought to the NHL didn’t…

New Calgary Wranglers head coach Trent Cull returns to his AHL roots

Over the past few seasons, the Calgary Flames’ American Hockey League affiliate has developed a strong reputation. The Stockton Heat won the AHL’s Pacific Division in 2021-22, and the relocated Calgary Wranglers repeated the feat in 2022-23, with head coach Mitch Love being named coach of the year in each season.

What does the future hold for Adam Ruzicka?

Adam Ruzicka has become a forgotten player for a lot of Flames fans. It makes sense because all the attention this off-season has been on the 2024 pending UFA’s like Elias Lindholm, Noah Hanifin, and Mikael Backlund to name a few. There is also excitement around younger players getting a shot to play full time…
