Hockey is officially back, as the National Hockey League kicked off on Tuesday evening. While the Flames don’t begin their season until Thursday evening, their prospects in the Canadian Hockey League and overseas have been playing for a few weeks now. This past week has been a big one for a few of their prospects,…

The Vancouver Canucks kicked off their 2026-27 season with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Like the Calgary Flames, they’re a rebuilding team looking to accumulate young talent for their upcoming…

There aren’t many original misfits left on the Vegas Golden Knights. One of them, William Karlsson will be a Golden Knight (barring a trade) for the next three seasons, as the Swede signed a two-year extension that carries an annual cap hit of $6.75 million. That’s set to begin next season, as he’s making $5.9…

The Calgary Flames’ leadership group is set for the 2026-27 season. On Wednesday morning, the team announced who’ll wear the C and the two As.

On May 23, 2023, the Calgary Flames named assistant general manager Craig Conroy, a 1,009 National Hockey League veteran as a player and budding club executive since his retirement in February 2011, as the club’s new general manager.

According to Francis on Tuesday, Calgary was involved in the talks around Marchenko…

The Calgary Flames announced their 2026-27 season-opening roster on Monday afternoon. The roster contains 23 active players – two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 13 forwards – plus one player on the injury reserve list. External expectations may be low, but salary cap flexibility is very high – and that’s despite the Flames starting the season…

After their fifth consecutive first round defeat, the Los Angeles Kings needed to change something. From the 2022 to 2025 post-season, the Kings lost to the Oilers in the first round. They mixed it up in 2026, as they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche. Not great. So what did they do this past off-season?…

After a Sunday evening shutout for the Calgary Wranglers, they were looking for a better result to build their confidence in their last pre-season game.

It’s hard to say that the Vegas Golden Knights are better than they were when they were to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2026. It was a fairly busy summer for the 2023 Stanley Cup Champions, but many of their moves were re-signings. They did improve the back-end, but lost a 30-goal scorer in an…

The Calgary Flames have formally locked in their season-opening roster. To get down to a 23-man active roster, they’ve made a pair of moves.
