Flames Top 25 Under 25: #23- Ryan Lomberg
Lomberg got some NHL ice time last season and climbed into the Top 25. #23: Ryan Lomberg Position: Left Wing Age: 23 Team: Stockton heat (AHL) Undrafted Voting Points: 415 Admit it, you were excited and intrigued when the Flames called Lomberg up last season. He came as advertised and did what he was supposed to do: bring energy, get in the corners and well, fight. Lomberg saw 7 games with Calgary last year, notching his first NHL point (an assist) and collecting 15 PIM. Lomberg seems like he’ll be stuck in the call up rotation when there’s an injury or if the Flames are desperetly...

Flames Top 25 Under 25: #24- Eetu Tuulola
Tuulola has some size, but is far from being NHL ready. #24: Eetu Tuulola Position: Right Wing Age: 20 Team: HPK (Liiga) Drafted in 2016, 6th Round, Pick 156 Last Year Ranking: Honourable Mention Voting Points: 328 Eetu Tuulola finds himself at #24 in the Top 25 Under 25 for this season. Eetu didn’t crack the list last season so this would be our first look at him since he was drafted back in 2016. Tuulola is a RW prospect that will get the “size brigade” all amped up. The Finish product stands 6’2” and a hefty 225 lbs. He’s currently unsigned, but at 20 years old there is...

3 Flames Prospects With Roster Shots
The Calgary Flames had a disappointing season in 2017-18, finishing 11 points outside of the post-season mix. Given that disappointment, the Flames have made several roster changes during their off-season. There may be even more roster turnover, given that they have a few young faces pushing for National Hockey League jobs. A handful of prospects […] The post 3 Flames Prospects With Roster Shots appeared first on The Hockey Writers.

Flames defenceman Prout plans to prove he still belongs at NHL level
Around these parts, this counts as quite a compliment. No doubt aware some armchair general-managers would be puzzled that defenceman Dalton Prout was able to command a one-way contract, Calgary Flames boss Brad Treliving reminded of another Canada Day eyebrow-raiser. “I’m not a big fan of doing comparables, but it was four years ago that […]

Flames hope camp slogan will resonate with up-and-comers
The right way … Every day. That was the theme of the Calgary Flames’ latest development camp, a slogan that was stamped on the back of team-issued T-shirts and a summary of why NHL organizations invest in hosting these summer sleep-over parties for their prospects. “You always hear about being a pro,” explained Flames general […]

Flames prospect Matthew Phillips shines in scrimmage … but what next?
On this stage, you couldn’t miss him. Still, nobody is classing Calgary Flames forward prospect Matthew Phillips as a can’t-miss kid. A sixth-round selection in the 2016 NHL Draft, Phillips was among the standouts in Sunday’s development-camp scrimmage at WinSport’s Markin MacPhail Centre. The puck seems to follow this guy around. At 5-foot-7 and 155 […]

Flames’ fourth-rounder Koumontzis hopes to prove scouts right
Demetrious Koumontzis will be heading home with a lifelong keepsake in his luggage. Before he goes, the Calgary Flames draftee is hoping to leave behind a lasting impression. “I just want to show why they picked me in the fourth round, why I should be here and why I should end up playing in the NHL […]

Flames prospect Pollock hopes to build on minor-league breakthrough
Along came Pollock. He’s never been billed as a blue-chipper and won’t be considered one of the feature attractions at Sunday’s summer-camp scrimmage, but the Calgary Flames higher-ups were awfully pleased with Brett Pollock’s progression last winter. This guy started the season as, frankly, an afterthought. He later emerged as an important piece for the […]

‘I know what it takes now’: Audition was confidence-booster for Flames prospect Spencer Foo
That keepsake puck — a framed memento from Spencer Foo’s first National Hockey League marker — is not displayed as prominently as you might think. “It’s back home … It’s in the basement right now,” Foo reported after Friday’s on-ice sessions at Calgary Flames development camp. “We’ll see where it’s going to end up.” Funny […]

Jankowski’s younger brother hopes to ‘carve my own path’ at Flames’ camp
This is not some sort of favour from the Calgary Flames. As David Jankowski aims to impress as a tryout invitee to summer development camp, his standout sibling wanted to make that clear. “It has nothing to do with me — I didn’t go to anyone or say anything,” stressed Flames centre Mark Jankowski. “They […]
