The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, competing in the National Hockey League’s Western Conference. Founded in 1972 as the Atlanta Flames, the franchise relocated to Calgary in 1980 and has since become a cornerstone of Canadian hockey culture. Known for their passionate fanbase and competitive spirit, the Flames have claimed two Presidents' Trophies for the NHL’s best regular-season record and reached the Stanley Cup Final in 1986 and 1989. The team plays its home games at the Scotiabank Saddledome, a venue synonymous with high-energy hockey and community pride. Beyond the rink, the Flames are recognized for their community initiatives, including youth hockey programs and charitable partnerships across Alberta.
The Calgary Flames enter the 2025-26 NHL season with high expectations after a resurgent 2024-25 campaign that saw them secure a playoff berth. Under the leadership of head coach Ryan Warsofsky, the team has emphasized speed and defensive structure, blending veteran experience with emerging talent like young defenseman Owen Pickering and forward Jakob Pelletier. As of February 2026, the Flames sit in playoff contention in the Pacific Division, with key victories over rivals like the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks keeping their postseason hopes alive. The roster’s depth and goaltending tandem have been instrumental in navigating a competitive Western Conference.
