"This FCHL will provide an option to play hockey for families who may be looking for a different structure than the mainstream hockey model."

We are grateful to the Calgary Flames Foundation for their continued support of Hockey Calgary and helping us to grow the game through offering different streams of hockey to the families in the Calgary area.”
