you seem to have some nice mountains over there. Almost as beautiful as Austria

Sieloff is just so awesome. Good lord is he ever ripped. Does anyone else think of Adam Foote?

So it's a mix of training and some team building. It seems like they are trying harder then in previous years to get the group cohesive from the start.

Yeah I imagine they want to develop a Flames culture. It is very important to get guys trusting each other and excited to come to Calgary. I always remember the 04 Cup run and that was one of the main things you heard about that team, how close they were. It's one thing i hope they redevelop with the club, that close knit, we are all in this together attitude.

Gotta hand it to Flames management here, there isn't too many guys in the last few years that I have ZERO excitement about.

[EVERLAST]

SIeloff reminds me of both Gary Roberts and Gary Suter a little bit ...

[MrMastodonFarm]

Maybe it's just because of social media and more access to this stuff.. But Feaster and company seem to be doing a much better job with the prospects then Sutter... Sutter didn't even do a scrimmages...

Love the simple fact that even out in the mountains they're sporting Flames stuff. Keeping the reason they're all there in their minds

The four in the top pic appear to be the Providence College guys. Jankowski, Gilmour, Acciari, and Gillies. The two in the second pic are Jankowski and Poirier.

How can you not love Jankowski. The guy is just jacked to be a Calgary Flame! I figure he'll be an important guy keeping his Providence team mates thinkingnabout e future as team mates in the pros. Guys like that are keepers. Hopefully you'll see the same attitude from Arnold and Gaudreau and they both come ready for bear at the end of Boston College's season this coming year. Man, things are shaping up well if these guys continue to develop on the same curve they are currently on.

Wonder if the NCAA guys had to chip in for gas to get to Kananaskis.

Looks like they did the Cosmic Ray trail to the top of Sulphur?

Sieloff looks close... I hope we see him in the pre-season.

[sureLoss]

Just a heads up, tomorrow maybe the last day to see some of the prospects. Any prospect who needs to leave because of flights on Tuesday may not be at the Tuesday practice or may leave early (most likely the east coast and euro guys).

So if you want to see a particular prospect live or get some autographs, Monday's scrimmage maybe the last chance to do so.

Also on Tuesday the groups will be changed to account for the players who had to leave.

Pretty funny. I like this kid.

This is such a great interview! You can tell that this kid is having the time of his life. Going from an un-ranked draft hopeful to his first NHL prospect camp has to be an amazing experience. It would be great if this pick turned out.

[djsFlames]

Sieloff reminds me of a young Robyn Regehr / Dennis Wideman.

[AC]

I can't wait to see our defence in a few years. We'll have 3 vets in Gio, Brodie, and Wideman and then a really promising prospect pool:

• Cundari,
• Sieloff,
• Wotherspoon,
• Ramage,
• Breen,
• Culkin,
• Kulak,

That's not even counting the guys we picked this draft (Kanzig and Roy in particular).

Can I write this on a note to submit to work as my excuse for disappearing for a couple hours? "Sorry Boss, might be the last day to see Reto Berra, gotta go"

Autographs have been pretty hard to get anyway. Outside of Monohan, Kanzig and Padakin, the guys seem pretty focused and going straight to the room. Or at least the scrimmage and practice I was at. Horak and Berra are impossible.

Janko knows what's up.

‏@Kristin_Hallett When interviewing players, a bead of sweat always travels down their nose. Very distracting. Today, the bead fell on me!!! Thanks Jankowski

@Janko61
@Kristin_Hallett I'm sorry! Maybe I'll have to take you out for a nice dinner to make it up to you!

Smooth moves Jankowski:
