Calgary Flames, a privately owned entity headquartered in Canada, founded in 1972, operates as a professional ice hockey team that competes in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. The team is the third major professional ice hockey team to represent the city of Calgary, following the Calgary Tigers (1921–1927) and Calgary Cowboys (1975–1977). The Flames are one of two NHL franchises based in Alberta, with the other being the Edmonton Oilers, a situation that has fostered a rivalry known as the "Battle of Alberta."
The Calgary Flames signed defenseman Simon Nemec, 22, to a five-year, $36.25 million contract on July 6, after acquiring him in a trade with the New Jersey Devils last month. Previously, on July 2, General Manager Craig Conroy stated the team was in contract talks with Nemec's representatives and anticipated an update later that week or early the following week. On the same day, the Flames traded veteran winger Blake Coleman and defenseman Olli Maatta to the Minnesota Wild, acquiring defenseman Jacob Middleton and three draft picks: a 2029 second-round pick, a 2027 third-round pick, and a 2028 fourth-round pick. Calgary retained 50 percent of Coleman's final year contract. Earlier on July 2, the franchise selected 18-year-old shutdown defenseman Carson Carels with the sixth overall pick at the NHL draft.
