The Calgary Flames are a pretty banged up group at the moment. They were already without Yegor Sharangovich and Kevin Rooney, and announced this morning that 19-year-old left winger Samuel Honzek is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
Despite being a first-round pick, after the way Sam Honzek’s season went down last year, many would have avoided the term “NHL-ready.” Even still, the forward made the Calgary Flames NHL club out of camp and has played on the top line alongside Nazem Kadri to start the year.
Flames rookie Samuel Honzek will miss significant time after being listed as week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
The Calgary Flames announced their 2024-25 season-opening roster on Monday, and there’s a teenager on it. Forward Samuel Honzek, the club’s 2023 first-round pick and a teenager until Nov.
As the NHL preseason ends, the Calgary Flames have good news and bad to start the season. The team had standout performances from unlikely heroes, but they also lost a key forward who is out week-to-week with an injury.
The preseason is a great time to get a look at top prospects and first-round picks who haven’t made the jump to the NHL yet. For a rebuilding team like Calgary, this means more potential spots for young players on the NHL roster.
There’s always plenty of questions at this time of year about young players, who they’re going to be as they develop, and where they stand within the organization given their prior production at certain levels or in other training camps.
If we’re being honest with each other, folks, every edition of the Barn Burner podcast is pretty good. Ryan Pinder, Dean “Boomer” Molberg and Rhett Warrener have worked together for awhile, and there have been entire episodes where they barely discuss hockey and the shows are still strong.
It’s mock draft season, folks! Following Tuesday’s National Hockey League draft lottery, there’s all sorts of mock draft content across the hockey sphere.
Another Calgary Flames prospect has joined their top American Hockey League affiliate. The Flames announced on Thursday that forward Jaden Lipinski has joined the Wranglers on an amateur try-out contract.
As it stands, the Calgary Flames have four picks in the first two rounds of the 2024 NHL Draft. It appears that the Flames will pick around the 10th overall pick and somewhere in the 20s with the pick they received in the Elias Lindholm deal with the Vancouver Canucks.
Folks, we’re obviously all a bit caught up in the 2024 trade deadline pandemonium. But once March 1 hit the calendar, another important period began: the opening of the window for teams to sign players to entry-level deals that begin next season.
Heading into this season, the common thought process regarding the Calgary Flames’ centres was something like this: “Hey, they have Elias Lindholm, Mikael
It’s hard to believe it, but we’re creeping up very quickly on the 2023-24 trade deadline. So not only does that mean that the NHL season is almost two-thirds completed, but it also means that the 2023 NHL Draft was eight months ago.
It has been five days since the World Junior Championship tournament came to an end, and it was full of surprises. Germany beat Finland for the first time in their history, then Latvia beat Germany a couple of days later.
The National Hockey League’s trade deadline is pure, unbridled chaos, friends. But the looming trade deadlines in Canada’s three major junior leagues are arguably even wilder.
The World Juniors are over for the lone Calgary Flames prospect at that event. Samuel Honzek and Slovakia were eliminated in the quarterfinal round during a pretty intense, tight-checking and at times chaotic day of action on Tuesday at the IIHF World Junior Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The round robin competition is complete and now the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship in scenic Gothenburg, Sweden progresses to the important stage: the knockout medal round.
After an off-day on Thursday, Calgary Flames prospect Samuel Honzek and Slovakia were back in action at the IIHF World Junior Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden on Friday.
The second day of competition at the IIHF World Junior Championship tournament in Gothenburg, Sweden took place on Wednesday. For the second consecutive day, Calgary Flames prospect Samuel Honzek and his Slovakian national team were in action.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Presents have been unwrapped, and time has been spent with family for the holidays, but now we get to the real reason why hockey fans love the holiday season: the World Junior Championship.
The longer 2023 first-round pick Samuel Honzek sticks with the Calgary Flames through their preseason, the more likely it becomes that he receives, at the very least, a nine-game trial in the NHL to begin the season.
Selected 16th overall by the Flames, Samuel Honzek is the 10th 2023 first-round talent to sign his entry-level deal. Honzek headlined a quietly intriguing 2023 draft class for the Flames, who also nabbed Canadian defenseman Étienne Morin in the second round and high-scoring Russian winger Aydar Suniev in the third.
The previous Flames’ regime seemed uninterested in giving young talent ice time, and that’ll hopefully change in 2023-24.
The very deep 2023 NHL Draft has come and gone with very little fanfare. No trades in the first round and very few during Rounds 2-7, none of any note.
