The Flames and Flames Foundation will host their 13th annual Hockey Talks game, presented by United Way, tomorrow night when they host the Colorado Avalanche at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Flames Hockey Talks game is part of an effort with select NHL clubs dedicating one of their game nights to bringing awareness to mental health topics and supporting mental health resources. Follow Calgary Flames and Calgary Flames Foundation web and social channels for more information throughout the game.
During the game, on the concourse at section 226, fans will be able to purchase Mystery Pucks for $20. Each puck is signed by a member of the Flames and all proceeds from the mystery puck sales will be directed to the United Way of Calgary in support of mental health programming.
