What Happened to Troy Brouwer?
March 22nd, 2018 When the Calgary Flames signed Troy Brouwer in the summer prior to the 2016-17 season, hopes and expectations surrounding him were high. There were ambitions that he may be able to fill the void on the top line left by the departure of Jiri Hudler during the 2015-16 season.

Flickering Flames Face Floundering Firepower
November 10th, 2017 On paper, the Calgary Flames are a team that should be an offensive force to be reckoned with.

If the Flames are to succeed in the upcoming season, they will need better production from...Will Troy Brouwer Turn it Around?
