I would imagine Solovyov starts as the 7.

Despite being geographically closer than Abbotsford to both cities, Calgary has zero games against Toronto or Laval in 2022–23.

Calgary Placeholders have signed veteran C Mitch McLain to a two-year AHL deal. Previously with Iowa and Milwaukee on similar deals.

this was disappointing for me as i had hoped to catch a couple of games in TO.

Wrangler jeans trying to dispute is hilarious to me. They think they own the concept of "Wrangler" the noun? Clowns

I can't imagine either clearing waivers to get there.

KC just announced they are now the ECHL affiliate of the Kraken.

Flames will have a new ECHL affiliate for this season.

Is one even necessary?

I saw that Eetu Tuulola signed to play in Finland for next season. Looking at the projected line-up, I assume that this was expected.

My guess in the Wranglers will drop the blue secondary color and the new trim color will be black/gold to mimic the Flames identity. Hope they keep the old logo and not mess with it.

Suggestion: Go all black pants and black socks to mimic the Cooperall look too!

From the sounds of it, I think browna is correct. I don't anticipate there will be any blue whatsoever on the AHL jerseys.

Outside the likes of the Hershey Bears, Rochester Americans and Chicago Wolves with their own long-established identities, AHL teams usually mimic the colour scheme of the parent club.

If it's indeed the Wranglers, I assume they will be similar to these Nate Thomas mockups.



Also: Home teams wear whites in the AHL for half the season.

Added: Socks



I think the NHL red pants would work with this kit.

Probably some striping thickness or placement tweaks so they can use the current Flames red pants and have them match up a bit better with the tops but those look great.

I'd really like it if they fight the urge and resist any black trim on the sets but I don't like those chances.

Even if the AHL team doesn't wear exactly the same colours as the parent club, they still usually wear the same gloves and pants.

Take the Hartford Wolf Pack, for example...



They wear a navy blue rather than the Rangers' royal blue, but their gloves have the Rangers' colours, and their pants even have the Rangers logo on them.

If those players get called up, they don't have to wear gear that isn't broken in just because it's the wrong colour.


Whatever the AHL team is called, I fully expect them to wear the red, white, and yellow Flames pants and gloves.

The big W, but with a silhouette of Scorch instead of the cowboy.

If Scorch isn't somehow involved with the team's unveiling skit I will be very disappoint.
