Sporting Life
Calgary Flames – Hockey
Your Calgary experience isn’t complete until you join 20,000+ diehard fans at the Pengrowth Saddledome to cheer on the NHL’s Calgary Flames. Since arriving from Atlanta in 1980, the club has made three trips to the Stanley Cup Finals, including one championship in 1989.
In the midst of an unexpected run to the finals in 2004, the Flames inspired Calgary’s famous “Red Mile” – the ultimate block party as tens of thousands of cheering fans filled Calgary’s vibrant 17th Avenue from one end to the other.

Now, you can watch the world’s best indoor lacrosse players compete in Canada’s official national sport. The Calgary Roughnecks arrived in Calgary in 2000. Just four years later, they claimed their first National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship.

Calgary Stampeders – Football
In 2005, the Calgary Stampeders celebrated their 60th year in the Canadian Football League (CFL). The team has brought the Grey Cup to Calgary five times and is a six-time runner up. In 1948, after the Stamps chalked up a perfect 12-0 record, Calgarians christened a week-long celebration that has evolved into the annual Grey Cup Week festivities.
