Whether you’re raising future Calgary Flames fans or simply supporting your kids’ love of the team, sometimes you have to buy Flames merch (as a long-time Oilers fan that’s hard to type!). Jerseys, hats, and memorabilia are all part of the excitement. But, dang, the NHL makes bank (especially when you’re buying for a family!).
I’ve pulled together a variety of spots to shop for Calgary Flames gear without breaking the bank. Now you can show your “team spirit” while still watching your budget – because, as a parent, every dollar counts!
(Okay, I’ll give! I did cheer for the Flames as a kid when I lived in Calgary, and it took me a few years to switch to Edmonton once I moved up here. A Flames game was the first time I ever attended a hockey game, and Harvey – who is WAY better than Hunter – was so good about entertaining me and the kid I was sitting with. He will always be my favourite mascot!)
