The Calgary Flames announced today they have named Craig Conroy and Brad Pascall as Assistant General Managers. Conroy, Pascall and Senior Vice-President and Assistant General Manager Michael Holditch, will report directly to General Manager Brad Treliving. Additionally, Troy Crowder joins the Flames in player development.

The newest addition to the Flames staff is Brad Pascall who has served as Vice-President of Hockey Operations/National Teams with Hockey Canada since 2010. He brings an abundance of international hockey experience as he has worked in various capacities with Hockey Canada for the past 18 years. He served as Hockey Canada’s Senior Director of Men’s National Teams from 2006 to 2010 and was the Senior Director of Communications from 1998 to 2009.

Among his achievements, he played an instrumental role for Canada’s gold medal Men’s Olympic Team at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Four years earlier, he collected gold with the Men’s Olympic Team at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. He has also been a member of team operations for Canada at the IIHF World Championship in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and directed Canada’s National Junior Team to gold medals at the 2007, 2008 and 2009 IIHF World Junior Championships. Brad’s gold medal collection also includes the Canada/Russia Super Series in the summer of 2007 and with Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team at the 2006, 2012 and 2013 Ivan Hlinka events.

All they need to do is remove the "Special" and the "to the" from his title anyways....

[KootenayFlamesFan]

For the AGM, is that Conroy or are they bringing in someone else? Does Treliving have someone in Phoenix that he wanted to bring along?

[ForeverFlameFan]

I hope it's Conroy.

[Day Tripper]

I heard from a solid source, while waiting in line at Orange Julius, that Nick Ritchie will be the new AGM. Everybody panic.

[Racki]

I'm guessing its Conroy. Initially I thought his role fell under the category of public relations but he has worked hard developing his business acumen. Natural next step for him.

[Burke Salad]

I wonder if this has something to do with the hiring of a new coach for the Hitmen? Ken Babey perhaps? Wouldnt they announce that as a Hitmen press conference though?

Burke this morning said the AGM would be announced in the next couple of days. Most likely that.

The phrasing he used was "staffing announcements."

[Erick Estrada]

The fact that Conroy was retained by Burke after Feaster and Weisbrod were let go tells me that he's more than just a PR guy. I'm not saying he should be the AGM but if it happened it would be nice to see for one of the good guys in the league.

[Ozy_Flame]

2:1 odds Treliving fired, Doug McLean hired. Burke realized the error of his ways. Who's taking bets?

[Ashasx]

I hope it's 2 AGMs if Conroy is going to be the one promoted.

[Fire]

I like Conroy but I don't know if he's AGM ready yet. If they have 2 AGMs then I would be fine with it.

Wonder if Kelly Kisio is in the plans.

Probably. I doubt Conroy is named AGM.

Hope so. I've always liked Kisio as the Hitmen GM.

[Tyler]

Why not just put out a press release and be done with it? Why the big announcement for supporting staff in the organization? Seems a bit overkill.

[Alberta_Beef]

My guess is a new AGM from outside, Conroy promoted to AGM of player development and Ron Sutter made GM of Adirondack, assuming he is still with the organization
