It’s officially game day! The Calgary Flames Young Stars Tournament begins tonight in Penticton against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Young Stars Classic officially begins tonight! The Calgary Flames will be facing the Edmonton Oilers where each team will have a roster full of prospects playing. The Flames released the projected lineup earlier today for the Flames team tonight that can be found here.
Some key players on the ice will be Flames first-round draft pick at this year’s draft, Juuso Valimaki. There will also be two players coming off of NCAA years that the Flames both signed this year: Josh Healey and Spencer Foo. There will also be Mark Jankowski who’s feeling bigger, stronger, and more confident after this past off-season, as he told Flames TV.
Let’s take a look at some of the Flames players who will be on the ice tonight. We won’t be looking at every single player because I don’t want to bore you all. But let’s look at some players who could shine or make an impression.
Let’s start with the defensemen.
