Editorial tips

Our suggestions, not official team guidance.

Get to your seat before warmups end if you want to see the pregame features; times and formats are set by the club, so check the official Calgary Flames game-day information first.
Many traditions above are playoff-specific or occasional. Treat them as things you might see, not things every regular-season game will include.

Cautions

Arena codes of conduct apply to every fan. Check the venue bag and entry policy before you travel.
