Plus a cool look at the history of Flames centre ice designs here:

That's a hilarious logo chart there. Matthew Johnson has it as Olympic Saddledome from opening day until 1995, then Canadian Airlines Saddledome (for one season) before it became Pengrowth Saddledome in 1997 (three years before Pengrowth signed their 10 years naming rights deal). Then in 2000, the first year of the Pengrowth deal, the logo suddenly goes back to Canadian Airlines Saddledome, before going back to Pengrowth until 2009. What a mash up of foolishness, lol. An absolute failure of a centre ice logo history that should have been so easy.

For anyone wondering, the real naming rights changes were Olympic Saddledome until Canadian Airlines bought the rights during the 94'95 major renovations, followed by Pengrowth purchasing naming rights in the year 2000, then Scotiabank purchasing naming rights in October of 2010.
