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:

I attended two NHL matches at the Saddledome when I was in Calgary and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was excellent and my 9 year old son loved it as well. I would certainly recommend this for sports fans.
Dome intensity was amazing....even in the cheap seats folks were on their feet for the last 6 minutes of the game The result did not go our way...did I mention that the Flames were swept out in 4?
it was great event it was family fun event i loved it and enjoyed alot
Originally from Saint Louis, we met up and decided to catch the STL Blues vs. the Calgary Flames. I can't even begin to describe what a positive experience we had. We went to our nosebleed seats, and a young man offered us seats in the lower bowl, about 15 rows back from the net. It was incredible! The concession food was good as well. The fans gave us friendly banter, the best kind, and we went home with a Blues victory! All in all, would do again. Thank you, Calgary!
Lots of fun it was awesome to see the young guns play !!!!
Calgary is such an amazing hockey town. The people were so friendly and the game was so exciting!!!
Standing in one line for over 1.5hours to see 3players with kids and then to be told all the other line's for different players were closed before the players even got out to he table,it's a bit disappointing.Last year at COP was way better than at the Dome
This experience is like no other, I've always wanted to meet the Flames and this time we got the opportunity. It was amazing. The only down side was that every line we tried to get into got cut off as soon as we got to it, there was too many people. Good thing we could just stand to the side and take pictures of them, and occasionally they would say hi. Overall great experience!
I've have had the privilege of attending well over a hundred flames games in my life(including 10 games this year) and I can say without a doubt that this was the best game I have ever seen live!!!
Great experience. The energy in the Saddledome is incredible. The ultimate in hockey experiences for a true hockey fan! We sat on the boards and it couldnt have been better. C of Red- Go Flames Go!
Wow! Amazing atmosphere. Food and drink are overpriced, but what can ya do....it's the Dome!!
Not bad wish a better explanation of the seats I was getting had of been provided. My grandson and I were seated amongst a couple of teams of young unsupervised children. They were more interested in beating each other with the air batons staff handed out. then the game. I'll have to think long and hard before I attend another game!
The Game was fantastic, the city was wounderful, clean, and the people were friendly
Even though the Flames lost the opportunity to see the best hockey player in the world shine was worth it.
Seriously amazing event!!! Cant go wrong with a $5 hockey game!!
The last 10 minutes of the 3rd period was my favorite time. You could feel the energy in the dome! I love the flames! I wish I could make Saturday's big game but unfortunately I cannot.
It was great to use the scanner right off my phone,didn't have to worry about losing tickets,and it was fast!definitely use that next time also
The seats were awesome and I loved how fast the tickets were transferred to me. It was also extremely convenient that I could download them to my passbook!
The atmosphere was electric and the fact that we were playing the Oilers on NYE had a lot to do with that.
With the exception of people comming in 10 minutes late to try to find their seats and then trying to get us kicked out of our seats because they thought that we were in their seats, which we were not the experience was great. We were very far up and didn't have a lot of options of where we were to get food or drinks unless we wanted to walk 1500 stairs during intermission.
