The Calgary Flames are riding a three-game winning streak, thanks in large part to a major improvement in their defensive-zone play. On Sunday at the Saddledome, they face one of the NHL’s ultimate tests — Washington Capitals scoring machine Alex Ovechkin. “His shot is unbelievable, and he can score from anywhere,” said Flames right-winger Michael […]

One man is in custody after trying to outrun police behind the wheel, and then on foot. Calgary police Sgt. Kelly Todd said officers were called to a Co-op gas bar near Southland Drive and 24 Street SW for reports of a man passed out in a stolen silver Dodge Ram. Before officers arrived on the scene, the […]

From feeding wildlife to illegally collecting elk antlers, wardens in Banff National Park laid 1,070 charges in the past decade — the most of any national park in Canada, says a new federal report. The paper, tabled recently in the House of Commons, breaks down how many people were charged in 38 national parks, the cost of […]

Police are investigating after a home in the 100 block of Rundlehorn Crescent NE was shot just before 9 a.m. Sunday. Four people were in the home at the time but no injuries were reported. Police do not have any suspects at this time and have not released the number of shots fired at the […]

The Calgary Hitmen wanted to prove that they can play with the best teams in the Western Hockey League. They did just that on Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome as Jordy Stallard scored a power-play goal at 3:32 of overtime to propel the Hitmen to a 3-2 win over the red-hot Prince George Cougars. […]

Hindsight is always 20/20 and it was no different when Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan replayed the game film from Friday’s 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. In the moment, however, he felt his team was out-played for the majority of the game. “We were better in the first than I gave us credit for […]

When he was head coach of the Dallas Stars, Glen Gulutzan had plenty of chats with Antoine Roussel about discipline. And, after many failed attempts of receiving the message, former Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk and Gulutzan found a solution for the edgy young forward’s penchant for taking penalties. “Niewy and I actually sent him […]

MONTREAL – This offensive line might not have to pay for dinner any time soon. The big boys up front likely have a few (very costly) meals coming their way. After all, they’ve kept Bo Levi Mitchell’s jersey cleaner than any quarterback in the league. And they’ve opened up Mack Truck-sized holes for Mack Truck-sized […]

MONTREAL – Tracy Ham figured the record was safe. So he was surprised to hear the Calgary Stampeders were poised to blow it out of the water. Ham led the Eskimos to a 16-2 record in 1989. No team has threatened the best record in modern CFL history over the past 27 years. Until now. […]

MONTREAL – It’s tough to play football on eggshells. The game is far too physical to try to avoid injuries. So Stamps fans will cross their fingers that none of the club’s key contributors get banged up in the regular-season finale. But there’s also that record. A win over the 5-11 Montreal Alouettes will give […]

It wasn’t police action or inaction that killed a fleeing murder and cop shooting suspect — it was falling head-first onto a rock while trying to get away. Friday, the Independent Investigation Office of B.C. released findings of its look into Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket’s death near Revelstoke earlier this month. “At 10:10 a.m., Oct. 12, […]

MONTREAL – Six completions. Bo Levi Mitchell can complete a half-dozen balls in his sleep. Probably has. But it appears that’s how far the Calgary Stampeders quarterback will fall short of a franchise record. The Stamps will start Drew Tate at quarterback in Sunday’s somewhat meaningless regular-season finale in Montreal against the Alouettes (11 a.m., […]

Three young children were among those rushed to hospital in the aftermath of a fatal collision on Tsuut’ina Saturday afternoon. One person — an adult — died in the crash. Calgary EMS said it and Priddis EMS were called out to the scene of the head-on, two-vehicle incident between a pickup truck and an SUV, […]

A Calgary karate competitor has claimed a silver medal at the world championships held in Austria Saturday. But even though she fell just short of the gold, Natalie Olson has won the admiration of her club back home.  Olson, 28, is a first-degree black belt, and was competing in her second world championships in the para-karate (intellectual disability) category. She was […]

Brad Osadczuk clearly remembers the sick feeling he got in the pit of his stomach when he answered the phone on Sept. 27 and heard the voice of a Canadian Food Inspection Agency official on the other end.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi said even one case of workplace harassment by police officers is one case too many. A workplace review of the CPS from 2013 made public this week showed male and female officers were subjected to “inappropriate or disrespectful treatment” by fellow officers, including multiple cases of sexual harassment. “If I hear of one employee […]

City buses will be transporting more than just passengers next week. Drive by any Calgary Co-op Nov. 5, and you’ll see employees, volunteers and shoppers filling up 12-metre long Calgary Transit buses for this year’s Stuff a Bus event. Cindy Drummond, food industry development coordinator at the Calgary Food Bank, said Stuff a Bus is one […]

The new Flanders Avenue Interchange has opened after over a year of construction and delays. Commuters traveling along Crowchild Trail will be able to breathe a slight sigh of relief with the Flanders Avenue bridge open to road traffic on Monday, Oct. 31. Mayor Nenshi said the new interchange was designed with motorists, cyclists and pedestrians in […]
