The Calgary Flames had a notable week as several of their prospects returned to their respective CHL teams, featuring the likes of Jacob Battaglia, Hunter Laing, and Axel Hurtig. Battaglia, who showcased his offensive skills throughout the preseason, will now look to carry that momentum into the OHL as he joins the Windsor Spitfires. His ability to create plays and score goals made him a standout during his time with the Flames during training camp.
Hunter Laing, another promising prospect, is set to make his mark in the WHL after being re-assigned to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Known for his strong defensive game, Laing is expected to contribute significantly to his team, showcasing the skills that made him a sought-after draft pick. Balancing his defensive responsibilities with the need to support the offense will be key for his development this season.
Axel Hurtig will also be returning to the CHL with the Erie Otters, where he aims to build on his performance from last season. Hurtig, with his remarkable skating ability and tenacity on the puck, looks to improve his overall game and prove himself as a future NHL prospect. The Flames organization is keenly watching the development of these players, as they are integral parts of the team’s future.
As these three prospects step into their roles with their junior teams, the Flames are optimistic about their potential contributions in the upcoming season, hoping to see them flourish and eventually make the leap to the NHL. This is an exciting time for Flames fans, as the development of young talent plays a crucial role in the team's long-term success.
