Alex Gallant’s 2025-26 season ended with 179 penalty minutes—fifth in the league—and he’s not slowing down. At 32, he played 42 games, delivered three assists, and kept his signature physical presence on the ice, mentoring younger players like Ryder Boulton. His role? Leadership, toughness, and protecting his teammates. With summer training complete and no signs of retirement, Gallant, now 33, is ready to bring that same edge back for the Wranglers next season.

Calgary Flames are making waves with seven prospects cracking The Athletic’s top 100 NHL draft list—led by dynamic defenseman Zayne Parekh (9th overall) and high-potential rookie Carson Carels, both rising fast in the second tier. Parekh dazzles with elite offensive instincts and puck control, while Carels impresses with elite skating, strength, and physicality. Behind them, Matvei Gridin and Cole Reschny anchor the third tier, with Cullen Potter, Hunter Brzustewicz, and Ethan Wyttenbach rounding out the roster. This depth signals a promising rebuild, with experts praising the Flames’ scouting and development pipeline—and the real test now begins: how these young stars translate to NHL success.
