The Calgary Wranglers are turning the page with a fresh, reloaded roster poised for a breakout season. After a whirlwind offseason, they’ve rebuilt from the ground up — no returning defensemen, but loaded with veteran savvy and young talent. Andreas Englund brings NHL experience, while prospects like Axel Hurtig and Abram Wiebe debut in pro hockey. Up front, a deep forward group including Rory Kerins, Ben Jones, and rising stars Aydar Suniev and William Stromgren battle for AHL spots. Goaltending is now a depth-driven strategy, with Sergeev starting and Owen Say ready as backup. All eyes will be on October 2nd when they face the Abbotsford Canucks — a pivotal moment to prove this new squad can deliver.

Sam Honzek’s NHL dreams are on the brink of reality — but not without a brutal battle against injury. The Slovakian prospect, loaded with size, skill, and smarts, has been sidelined by a string of freak accidents — skate cuts, abdominal woes, even a facial collision — since joining the WHL. Last season saw him briefly shine with Calgary’s big club before a teammate’s hit cut his campaign short. Now, the Flames are pinning hopes on a clean, healthy 2026-27 season — mirroring Mikael Backlund’s early path. If Honzek stays injury-free, he could become a cornerstone for Calgary’s young core.
