Ha. Actually I wanted to be a photographer, but the editor at my first job quickly swerved me this direction. I always appreciated what he did.

Good article..https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgar...-matt-coronato

I wonder if Tre can close Coronato the way Conroy closed Gaudreau!

The Flames have every intention of signing him as soon as possible. Rest assured, as soon as he puts pen to paper, they will whisk him to wherever the club is playing. The Flames have the salary cap space to add Coronato if he joins them at the conclusion of his sophomore season.

His career in porn didn't work out so instead of being influenced by his first name, he decided the last name was a better option.

So... Do you go on the road with them... or are you just based locally?

so what you're saying is that as a photographer you make a great hockey journalist?

Great to see you back.

Lionel Ritchie, Taylor swift, Boston.

Welcome back!

For now, just locally. We'll see. David Alter in Toronto has managed to make it worth travelling, which is an incredible achievement.

Asking before the leave him alone his personal life is private pile on.


Even though the Flames or himself posted pictures of his summer holiday Dj'ing in Greece on twitter last summer.


Also can you find out why Phillips was not given a chance with the team?

I agree, respect his privacy, but he is currently making 2.5 million or whatever to be at home. I think the fan base deserves a little more than what we have been given. At training camp, it was expected he would be back. Now its as if he may never be back. Respecting an athlete's privacy is important but part of being a professional athlete has things you give up for that money. I don't need to know fine details that is for sure, but a general update at this point is more than fair "other than he is still working through it".

Also congrats Randy on the new role !

I miss Jermaine, but otherwise Calgary has a solid crew. TV, radio and print.

Randy adds to this.

I honestly don't know and have not been around enough to have found out. That said, I've been try trying to catch up with people who have been here and in the mix. I was actually out of the country for most of the season and only came back to Calgary a few weeks ago.

Congratulations Randy!

Really looking forward to your insights and what path this organization is going to take being in such a unique position.

Interesting conundrum with an underachieving NHL team and a first place AHL team including some players who have shown phenomenal potential.

Best of luck to you Randy… crush it!
