It was announced recently that this NHL season would be the last inside the iconic Saddledome in downtown Calgary, and with the full season schedule unveiled, the Calgary Flames have posted their new centre ice logo for the season, a farewell tribute to the location the Flames have called home since their first game against the Edmonton Oilers in 1983.
According to the Flames, this season is more about a fan thank you, than it is about saying goodbye.
“Thank you for the memories that have defined generations of hockey fans. From capturing the Stanley Cup in 1989, the “Eliminator” and the Cinderella run in 2004, or Johnny’s Game 7 overtime heroics – The C of Red has witnessed 44 years of memories under this iconic roof.”
The upper border is sloped, just like the roof of the iconic stadium, and features the years the Flames played there.
The Flames open their farewell season against the Seattle Kraken on October 1st, and the final game will be against the Vancouver Canucks on April 10th.
