It was awesome as a shoulder patch, and is a good alternate logo.
A fire breathing horse is a great logo for the Calgary Flames in this city, and the execution of the logo is pretty good.

Here are my issues with it...
- It's yellow.
- It doesn't have a mane, which makes it look bald.
- Front views of horses in illustrations generally don't look as good as a side view or at least a 3/4 view. If you do an image search for "horse logo", hardly any of the examples have the horse's head looking straight ahead.
- The flames coming out of the nose look weird.
A side view of a charging or rearing horse would have looked better, IMO. That also would have allowed them to incorporate flames into the mane and tail. My guess is they didn't want to do that because it would be too similar to the Stamps or the Denver Broncos who had updated their logo only a year earlier.
