Calgary Flames History

As the NHL sought to outcompete the WHA, they expanded the league with the New York Islanders. Needing another team to balance the schedule, the league also granted one to Atlanta, and the Atlanta Flames were founded in 1972. In 1980, the team relocated to Calgary.

The 2026-27 season is the Flames’ last at the Scotiabank Saddledome; the club moves to Scotia Place for 2027-28. Calgary began a rebuild at the 2026 trade deadline, moving Nazem Kadri to Colorado and MacKenzie Weegar to Utah.
