He was always committed to the Flames, and the Flames only, since day one.
The legend of Johnny Hockey just keeps growing. First, the Flames purposely not talking to his USHL coach, in hopes of drafting him (which they eagerly did in the 4th round, not having a third rounder that year). Then the debate about whether he would sign, and now the confirmation that Calgary was his team the moment he was drafted.

Loyalty, class, humility. This kid's a beauty.

P.S. I'd be okay if people didn't throw stuff on the ice after he scores (hat-tricks notwithstanding). Maybe if it was the preseason, but if all goes according to plan this will be a regular occurrence for many years to come...
