Calgary Flames History
The Flames originated in Atlanta, Georgia in 1972. After eight years, they relocated to Calgary in 1980, where they were greeted by a far more hockey-friendly fanbase. Thus began the Battle of Alberta, which refers to the ongoing rivalry between the Flames and the Edmonton Oilers to the north.
The Flames were vanguards in terms of bringing in foreign players, as Håkan Loob became one of the league's first European stars. Loob, Doug Gilmour, Joe Nieuwendyk, Mike Vernon, Lanny McDonald, and Al MacInnis were the stars behind the Flames' only Stanley Cup Championship in 1989, gaining a measure of payback against the Montreal Canadiens in six games. Montreal had defeated the Flames in the Stanley Cup Final three years earlier.
Despite a block on players from the USSR, the Flames had the foresight to draft Russian star Sergei Makarov in 1983. Makarov was among the first Russians to play in the NHL when he joined the Flames in 1989-1990.
Despite financial issues, the diminutive Theo Fleury and Jarome Iginla led the Flames throughout the '90s, bouncing in and out of the postseason with little long-term success until 2004, when the Flames made another run at the Cup, only to lose to the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games. The Flames have made it to the Playoffs 25 times and have two Presidents' Trophies to their credit, along with seven division championships.

Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome
Home to the Calgary Flames, the idea for the Scotiabank Saddledome was seeded when it became clear that two major events would be in need of a world-class arena — the bid for the 1988 Olympic Winter Games and the arrival of an NHL franchise. The Saddledome opened its doors on October 15, 1983. The arena became a star attraction during the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, hosting both the figure skating and hockey competitions. In the fall of 1994, the arena underwent renovations and one year later the new Scotiabank Saddledome was unveiled. The Calgary Flames celebrated their first season at the arena during their home opener for the 1995-1996 season. The arena can seat more than 19,000 guests and hosts 150 events per year.
The Calgary Flames’ 2023–24 regular season kicks off in October at home as the Flames face off against the Winnipeg Jets. The Flames take on Alberta rivals the Edmonton Oilers in the 2023 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on October 29. The team plays their final game of the regular season at home against Pacific Division opponents the San Jose Sharks. Here’s a list of key games to keep an eye on:
Tickets for the 2023–24 regular season can be purchased on Ticketmaster, the Official Ticket Marketplace of the Calgary Flames.
The Flames have made three appearances in the Stanley Cup Final, and have won once (in 1989).

Visiting from AZ and Attended the Sunday night game between Coyotes & Flames - Loved the Arena with all of Calgary's Hockey History with pictures of teams from 1901 on! Fantastic to see the history and love of Hockey in Calgary. Hope that this tradition, history, information, and education carries over into the new arena. Staff and Fans all very friendly and helpful - seats on level 2 were great. Hope to go back for another game.
I am always an Art with the battle of Alberta!!!!!! Wooooooooooooo
Price point from beers, food and tickets this is one of the better places to catch an NHL game. I’m from Edmonton and it costs you a 1st born child to go to the games. Just for corporate people I guess. Definitely family friendly and not a bad seat in the building
Great game and atmosphere. It’ll be even better once Calgary gets a new rink they deserve and desperately need.
Watched game from rafters Great food . Flames lost to Red Wings 5 to 0 Bad play I guess . They improved and won against Winipeg Jets
The event was amazing and the staff there was so helpful and kind. Spent time with me to find where I was going as I had no clue. Went the extra mile.
Yes I know the tickets are up there. Experience was good despite a dilapidated building. I know they are getting a new area but the fact that the screens up there are so old they might as well be black and white. Just another embarrassing thing the the Calgary entertainment group love to show their fan basis’ they don’t care at all but still demand tax payer dollars to keep there billion dollars vanity project afloat. Can we get a ownership group that wants to
It was an amazing experience! Me and my beautiful girlfriend had at blast at the game 10/10
I spent the money for great seat only to spend 20 minutes in line for the bathroom twice and twenty minutes in line for food and drinks twice. Im not ignorant. I realize the old facility has this issue but youd think that at least food service would be fast. Oh yeah and then the longest lineup of all was to pay for parking. After spending 500 bucks on tickets for two people they gotta make us all wait to park to get there 18 bucks in parking. Just a horrible setup and arrangement by all parties involved. I was debating become a season ticket holder. Not a chance in hell now. I wouldnt want to host clients here ever. Im really looking forward to watching the games i feel like at home. Ive got lots of money and I am a fan but im not going to anymore flames games. If I really want to get the first class flames experience at home ill install a timed lock on my bathroom at home and sit in my car for 45 minutes waiting to park on my driveway.
A game worth watching, great New Year’s Eve vibe and audience compared to the usual Saddle morgue full of Calgary businessmen who aren’t even watching the game.
