About The Calgary Flames:
On May 21, 1980, the Atlanta Flames became the Calgary Flames. They moved from The Omni (capacity 15,141) to the Stampede Corral (capacity 7,242) and exchanged their fiery 'A'logo to an explosive-looking 'C' logo.
Calgary's and the Flames first ever NHL game, in the Corral, was against the Quebec Nordiques on Oct. 9, 1980, and ended in a 5-5 tie. Flames forward Guy Chouinard scored the first goal in the history of the Calgary Flames at 8:45 of the first period against Quebec goaltender Michel Dion.
The last game in the Corral was a 6-5 playoff win over Edmonton on April 18, 1983. In three seasons in the Corral the Flames played a total of 146 games (league, playoff and exhibition) including a thrilling win over the Soviet National Team on Jan. 2, 1983. The Flames lost only 28 regular season and four playoff games in the Corral.
In the space of 22 years, the Calgary Flames have become one of the premier franchises in the NHL -- on and off the ice. They won the Stanley Cup (1988-89); two Presidents Trophies, for first overall, (1987-88, 1988-89); two Clarence Campbell Conference titles (1985-86, 1988-89); three season and two Smythe Division playoff championships; two Pacific Division titles; several NHL individual and team honours; and numerous attendance records.
The Calgary Flames, now in their 23rd NHL season and 20th in the Pengrowth Saddledome, are performing in one of the best entertainment facilities in North America. The Saddledome now seats 17,159 for hockey. This facility opened Saturday, Oct. 15, 1983; when Edmonton edged the Flames 4-3. The Flames formally assumed management of the Saddledome on August 1, 1994.
The Saddledome underwent renovations, and was officially re-opened on October 25, 1995. New additions included premier dining and meeting facilities, 46 Club Suites which are 14 rows from the ice, plus two Super Suites and a club seating section with exclusive restaurants and lounges.
In conjunction with The Year of the Cowboy in Calgary, the Flames unveiled a new third jersey on June 23, 1998. The jersey represents horse power with attitude and was worn at selected games throughout the season. On June 21, 2000, the third jersey became the official road jersey of the Flames as they unveiled a new home design while eliminating the red uniform completely.
The history of the Flames began when a group of Georgia businessmen, headed by Tom Cousins, were granted an NHL franchise on June 6, 1972. In the first game at the Omni, the Flames and Buffalo Sabres played to a 1-1 tie. Ironically, the first game in Calgary also ended in a tie.
Whereas the Flaming C came to represent the Calgary franchise, the name Flames was arrived at by a contest in Atlanta to choose the most representative nickname. Historically, General Sherman captured the city of Atlanta during the Civil War and burned the city down. The flames that engulfed the entire city were extinguished, and the rebirth of the Georgia capital began.
On May 21, 1980 Nelson Skalbania announced that he and a group of Calgary businessmen had purchased the Atlanta franchise and would move the team to Calgary. Sixteen months later Skalbania sold his interest. Ownership of the Flames then consisted exclusively of six Calgary business people until June 15, 1990 when Norman Green left the Flames to become owner of the Minnesota (now Dallas) Stars.
On August 8, 1994 the Flames announced revisions to the clubs ownership structure adding six new investors and seeing two (Norman Kwong, Sonia Scurfield) of the teams original owners leave by selling their entire interest in the club. In 2001, the Flames ownership group bought the interests of two members, Dr. Grant Bartlett and Ronald Joyce. The Flames currently have seven owners who jointly control operations of the Pengrowth Saddledome, Flames and Major Junior Hitmen Hockey Clubs.
