Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames and the All Star Game

With the break fast approaching, here's a look back at how Calgary Flames players have fared in the ASG over the years.

This year, just like last, Calgary has 2 representatives at the NHL’s All Star Game. Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Giordano were both tabbed to play for the second consecutive year together. This time both players will be playing on the Pacific Division squad during the new 3 on 3 tournament format. I wanted to look back at the Flames who’ve participated in the game (if you want to tackle the Skills Competition stuff, feel free) and how they’ve fared over the years. So let’s crank up the time machine and take a trip down All Star Game Memory Lane.

Here's to hoping Gio and Johnny Hockey add to the Flames greats who've contributed to the NHL's All Star Game.
