Introducing our very own Calgary Flames regular season awards

The Darryl Sutter Controversy Award

The centre of controversy in the C of Red in 2022-23 was none other than Darryl Sutter. While we certainly have our fingers crossed for less controversy this season, it’s undeniable that something or someone will stir the pot in 2023-24. We’ll keep track of those controversial moments and hand over the Darryl Sutter Controversy Award to the player, coach, manager, moment, event, or other person or thing to recognize the biggest one from the season ahead.
