The Calgary Wranglers have signed right-handed forward Deni Goure to a one-year AHL contract for the 2024-25 season, Inside AHL Hockey writer Tony Androckitis reported Wednesday afternoon.

Goure, 21, has spent the last four seasons with the Owen Sound Attack in the Ontario Hockey League. The 5’11” centre led Owen Sound with 96 points (36 goals, 60 assists) in 68 games with the club during the 2023-24 regular season before tallying one goal and two points in four 2024 playoff contests.

The Attack originally selected Goure in the first round (No. 10 overall) of the 2019 OHL Priority Selection, but he went unselected by any NHL clubs after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out his draft year in the OHL. Through 259 games over his four seasons in Owen Sound, Goure collected 102 goals and 251 points.

As FlamesNation managing editor Ryan Pike pointed out on Twitter on Wednesday, the Wranglers signing Goure means that the Flames organization now includes three of the OHL’s top 10 point-getters from the 2023-24 season. Goure finished sixth in league scoring, while Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz respectively finished 8th and 10th (and first and second among defencemen).

The Chatham, Ontario-born Goure led the Attack in scoring as an 18-year-old in the 2021-22 season, tallying 24 goals and 63 points in 68 games (and finishing four spots ahead of future Winnipeg Jets first-round pick Colby Barlow). The Attack never advanced past the first round of the OHL playoffs during Goure’s tenure with the club.

The Wranglers have been reasonably active in adding to their group to this point in the 2024 offseason, with Justin Kirkland and Alex Gallant both re-entering the fold and Martin Frk and Trevor Janicke both joining the organization. Additionally, according to Androckitis, the Wranglers have also agreed to terms on a one-year contract with former Niagara University forward Connor Mylymok.

During the 2023-24 season, the Wranglers finished seventh in the AHL Pacific Division with a 35-28-9 record, just enough to capture the final playoff spot. Then, after soundly defeating the favoured Tucson Roadrunners in upset fashion in the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs, the Wranglers fell to the top-seeded Coachella Valley Firebirds in four games in the best-of-five Pacific Division semifinals.
