CELEBRATING 30 YEARS IN CALGARY
The Calgary Flames are celebrating 30 years in Calgary this season.
The Flames will mark their 29th NHL season, 30th year in Calgary and 25th year in the Pengrowth Saddledome during the 2009-10 season.
Since their arrival in 1980, the team has captivated hockey fans with their on-ice success, including a Stanley Cup victory in 1989, while establishing a solid off-ice reputation for community involvement through millions of dollars of contributions to charitable organizations throughout southern Alberta.
To mark this momentous year, we are happy to announce a number of fan contests with great prizes and, for the 30 days leading up to the Flames home opener on October 1 against Vancouver, we'll feature a year in the life of the Calgary Flames.

Prior to the start of 2001-02, the Flames pulled off two significant draft day trades, acquiring goaltender Roman Turek from the St. Louis Blues, and right winger Rob Niedermayer from the Florida Panthers. In his first two games, Turek recorded back-to-back shutouts against Edmonton and Chicago, and he tied a Flames record with five shutouts during the regular season. Despite getting off to a quick start, going 13-2-2-2, the Flames were unable to maintain the pace and ultimately missed the playoffs. Jarome Iginla established himself as one of the top-tier players in the NHL that season, leading the team—and the league—with 96 points (52 g, 44 a) and becoming only the eighth player in franchise history to score 50+ goals. Iginla captured three coveted NHL awards that year: the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy (for most goals), the Art Ross Trophy (for most points), and the Lester B. Pearson Award (for MVP as voted by the players). He was also a key member of Team Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, where he scored two goals in the final game against the United States to help Canada win its first gold medal in ice hockey in 50 years. |
