According to the Flames, the four staff members all agreed to these extensions prior to the start of the 2025-26 season, but this is the first time that the public has known about them.
The first to report on talks of an extension was Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on Wednesday night.
Hearing tonight that the Calgary Flames and GM Craig Conroy are making progress on a contract extension.
Been a lot of conversation about this locally the last few days…not sure when it will be finalized, but we are headed to that conclusion.
