The Calgary Flames have officially announced the hiring of Dave Lowry as their new assistant coach as they look to strengthen their coaching staff ahead of the upcoming NHL season. Lowry, who has extensive experience in both coaching and playing roles, brings a wealth of knowledge to the organization. Having spent the last several seasons as an assistant coach with the Winnipeg Jets, Lowry is expected to enhance the Flames' forward development and overall team performance.

Lowry’s tenure in Winnipeg was marked by significant contributions to the Jets’ success, particularly in their offensive strategies. With a player-friendly approach, he has been credited with improving the games of several forwards, including Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, helping them reach new heights in their careers. Calgary's management believes that Lowry’s expertise will be instrumental in mentoring their young talent, particularly with players like Andrew Mangiapane and Dillon Dube looking to take the next step in their development.

As the Flames prepare for the season, they are keen on achieving better results after a disappointing previous campaign. The addition of Lowry is seen as a strategic move to instill a winning culture and improve overall team dynamics. Coach Ryan Huska expressed confidence in Lowry's abilities to connect with players and implement effective game plans, leading to a more cohesive and competitive Flames squad come game day.
