Share On

The Calgary Flames have released a new “South Asian Celebration” logo as the team prepares to host its third annual themed game on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks.

According to a team announcement, the logo is part of ongoing efforts to recognize and celebrate Calgary’s South Asian community during a dedicated game night at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The initiative includes cultural elements and in-game programming designed to highlight South Asian heritage.

The Flames have held the annual celebration event since 2024, aligning with broader National Hockey League efforts to promote diversity and inclusion across its fan base and local markets. Saturday’s game marks the third edition of the event in Calgary.

It was not immediately clear whether additional programming details or community partnerships will be announced ahead of the game. Connect Newsroom contacted the Calgary Flames for further information. No response by publication time.

The Flames are scheduled to face the Vancouver Canucks in the regular-season matchup, with the themed celebration expected to be integrated throughout the game presentation.
