Over the weekend the Calgary Flames participated in the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, BC for the third consecutive year. As the final touches were put on the Scotiabank Saddledome after the summer’s flood damage, the Flames prospects headed west to showcase their talent against kids their own age.
The round-robin tournament, which took place September 5 to 9, saw the young Flames suit up against conference rivals from the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, Winnipeg Jets, and San Jose Sharks.
Heat bench boss Troy G. Ward was given the duties of coaching the young Flames, and got a quick glimpse at some of the newer prospects that will inevitably report to the Heat after training camp is over at the end of the month.
