Everything You Need to Know About Going To A Flames Game
The Calgary Flames are one of the most popular teams in the National Hockey League and a trip to the Scotiabank Saddledome is an experience not to be missed. Whether youre a first-timer or an old-timer, here are some things you should know about the team before going to a game.
Getting There
The best way to get to the Dome is to use the C-Train, which will take you directly to Stampede Park and the Dome from downtown. It is an affordable and convenient option for fans who may not have a car. It will also save you money compared to parking in the lot at Stampede Park, which can be expensive.
Tickets can be purchased online at the official website for a small fee or from a ticket agent. During the season, the Flames sell out every home game, so it is a good idea to buy early. You can purchase a season ticket or a single ticket for the next home game.
Wearing Your Jersey
You can show your support for the team by wearing your red Flames jersey at the game. The team is very proud of their history and fans enjoy displaying their team pride. If you arent sure what to wear, you can always ask an attendant at the Scotiabank Saddledome for advice.
Penticton Young Stars Classic
The Penticton Young Stars Classic is a tournament where 27 of the top hockey prospects in the country compete against each other. This year, the Calgary Flames are participating with 27 players who will be looking to make a name for themselves before training camp opens this month.
Some of the best Flames young stars in the organization will be taking part this week, including top forwards Jakob Gaudreau and Johnny Gaudreau, and defenceman Jeremie Poirier. Both of these young talents have a strong chance to crack the lineup in the upcoming season.
Other players in the Penticton Young Stars Classic that have a chance to make an impression on the team are Jakob Pelletier, Connor Zary and Emilio Pettersen. These young players are coming off of successful seasons with the Stockton Heat, and have a chance to put their name in the ring for a spot in the Flames AHL club this season.
If youre a fan of the Flames, be sure to get some good t-shirts to wear at the game and to cheer on your favorite team. The Flames will give away free t-shirts to fans who show up dressed in a Calgary Flames jersey and who participate in the game, so be sure to pick some up when you go!
Be Prepared for a Great Time at the Dome
The Scotiabank Saddledome is a shrine to the Flames and their history, so you will be able to see a number of displays that have been created to commemorate the franchises past. You will also be able to view some of the teams banners and memorabilia that will remind you of the days of the Flames glory days.
