Prior to training Camp, the players, coaches, alumni and management get together for one last round of golf. This year’s tournament was held on September 4th and 5th at Country Hills Golf Club. With the generous support of corporate Calgary and dedicated fans, this year's Calgary Flames Celebrity Golf Classic raised over $300,000 for the Flames Foundation for Life.

The Calgary Flames, Hockey Canada, Hockey Alberta and Hockey Calgary hosted it's sixth season of Coaching Day in Alberta on September 20th at the Pengrowth Saddledome. Coaching Day in Alberta is an initiative that invites coaches and hockey administrators from across Alberta to attend a one-day seminar on a wide range of coaching topics including skill development and off-ice training

Flames defenceman Rhett Warrener will host his fourth annual Retro’s Bowlerama this season. Rhett initiated this fun filled event in order to help those organizations that were the hardest hit by the absence of hockey during the lockout. Since then, the success of the event continues to grow with plans for this year's event to be even bigger and better.
The Calgary Flames will mark their 27th NHL season, 28th year in Calgary, and 23rd year in the Pengrowth Saddledome during the 2007-08 season.
Since their arrival in 1980, the team has captivated hockey fans with their on-ice success, including a Stanley Cup victory in 1989, while establishing a solid off-ice reputation for community involvement through millions of dollars of contributions to charitable organizations throughout southern Alberta.

On May 21, 1980 Nelson Skalbania and a group of Calgary entrepreneurs consisting of Doc and B.J. Seaman, Harley Hotchkiss, Norm Green, Ralph Scurfield, and Norman Kwong announced the acquisition of the Atlanta Flames franchise and declared their intention to relocate the team to Alberta.
In August, 1981 Skalbania sold his interest in the team to the Calgary contingent. The remaining six local businessmen continued to hold exclusive ownership until June 15, 1990 when Norm Green left to become owner of the Minnesota North Stars (now Dallas Stars).

On August 8, 1994 further revisions to the club ownership structure saw the addition of six new investors and the departure of two of the team’s original owners (Norm Kwong and Sonia Scurfield).
Subsequent changes in 2001 resulted in the current group of eight owners: N. Murray Edwards, Harley N. Hotchkiss, Alvin G. Libin, Allan P. Markin, the estate of J.R. McCaig, Daryl K. Seaman, Byron J. Seaman, and Clayton B. Riddell, who jointly control operations for the Calgary Flames, the Pengrowth Saddledome, and the WHL Calgary Hitmen Hockey Club.

On October 9, 1980 in their inaugural game at the Stampede Corral, the Flames battled the Quebec Nordiques to a 5-5 tie. The team played a total of 146 league, playoff, and exhibition games at the Corral, losing only 28 regular season and four playoff games in three seasons, before moving across the street into the Saddledome in October, 1983. The Flames formally assumed management of the Saddledome on August 1, 1994 and after extensive renovations, the venue was reopened on October 25, 1995. Today, the Pengrowth Saddledome is recognized as one of the pre-eminent entertainment facilities in North America.
The 2003-04 season saw the launch of an exciting new red jersey as the Flames’ home sweater, while the traditional whites were worn strictly for road games. The ‘C of Red’ was revived during the NHL playoffs, and the red Flames jersey became one of the top-selling jersey launches in NHL history. With the start of the 2007-08 season, the NHL will introduce the Reebok Edge uniform system which will result in minor striping changes to the Flames jersey. The alternate black jersey will be officially retired.

In their 27-year history, the Flames have become a premier franchise in the NHL. They have captured two President’s Trophies for finishing first overall (1987-88, 1988-89), three Clarence Campbell Conference titles (1985-86, 1988-89, 2003-04), two Smythe Division playoff championships (1985-86, 1988-89), two Pacific Division titles (1993-94, 1994-95), and a Northwest Division title (2005-06), plus several NHL individual and team honours and numerous attendance records.
The pinnacle of the team’s history was being crowned Stanley Cup champions for the 1988-89 season when they defeated the Montréal Canadiens. The Flames’ first appearance in the finals was in 1986, and their most recent in 2004, when they electrified not only the city of Calgary but captivated all of Canada with the inspirational playoff run.
