The Calgary Flames kicked off the main portion of 2025-26’s training camp on Wednesday with medicals and fitness testing.
They also released their camp roster and schedule for this year’s crop of prospective Flames. 58 players will be attending: six goaltenders, 18 defencemen and 34 forwards.
Here’s who will be in camp!
Goaltenders (6)
No. | Player | Age | 2024-25 Team(s) |
1 | Devin Cooley | 28 | Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
81 | Connor Murphy (AHL) | 26 | Calgary Wranglers (AHL) Rapid City Rush (ECHL) |
50 | Ivan Prosvetov | 26 | CSKA Moskva (KHL) |
80 | Owen Say | 24 | University of North Dame (NCAA) |
40 | Arsenii Sergeev | 22 | Penn State University (NCAA) |
32 | Dustin Wolf | 24 | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
Unsigned and not invited (but not expected to be): Yegor Yegorov (MHK Spartak-MAX, MHL), Kirill Zarubin (AKM Tula, MHL)
Among players with NHL contracts, Prosvetov and Say are brand-new to the Flames organization this season, while Sergeev is in training camp for the first time after signing out of college back in the spring.
Wolf is the undisputed starter, the role as his backup is between Prosvetov and Cooley, and then we’ll see how things shake out.
Defensemen (18)
No. | Player | Age | Shot | 2024-25 Team(s) |
4 | Rasmus Andersson | 28 | R | Calgary Flames (NHL) Sweden (Worlds/4 Nations) |
7 | Kevin Bahl | 25 | L | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
24 | Jake Bean | 27 | L | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
48 | Hunter Brzustewicz | 20 | R | Calgary Flames (NHL) Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
41 | Nick Cicek | 25 | L | Adler Mannheim (DEL) |
3 | Artem Grushnikov | 22 | L | Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
44 | Joel Hanley | 34 | L | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
67 | Axel Hurtig | 20 | L | Calgary Hitmen (WHL) Sweden (WJC) |
37 | Yan Kuznetsov | 23 | L | Calgary Flames (NHL) Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
88 | Simon Mack (AHL) | 24 | R | Penn State University (NCAA) |
62 | Daniil Miromanov | 28 | R | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
59 | Etienne Morin | 20 | L | Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL) |
94 | Brayden Pachal | 26 | R | Calgary Flames (NHL) |
89 | Zayne Parekh | 19 | R | Saginaw Spirit (OHL) |
92 | Mace’o Phillips | 18 | L | U.S. National Development Team (USHL) United States (U18 Worlds) |
72 | Jérémie Poirier | 22 | L | Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
98 | Ilya Solovyov | 25 | L | Calgary Flames (NHL) Calgary Wranglers (AHL) |
52 | MacKenzie Weegar | 31 | R | Calgary Flames (NHL) Canada (Worlds) |
Unsigned and not invited (but not expected to be): Eric Jamieson (University of Denver, NCAA), Henry Mews (University of Michigan, NCAA), Jakob Leander (HV71, U20 Nationell)
Among players with NHL contracts, Cicek is the only new face in camp on the back end.
We’re starting to see Craig Conroy’s draft choices emerging, with Morin and Parekh both potentially playing pro hockey this season. The bulk of the NHL defensive group feels close to set… but we’re going to see a push from below for some depth roles potentially.

Among players with NHL contracts, there’s a trio of new faces since last fall: Farabee, Frost and King.
Like with the blueline group, the forwards seem all-but-set. But this may be the first training camp of Conroy’s tenure where there are a ton of really fascinating young forwards that could make things a bit interesting. (Basha! Gridin! Honzek! King! Morton! Suniev!) The fresh faces may not be fully ready for primetime yet… but keep an eye on ’em.
