The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, that competes in the National Hockey League as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. The franchise was founded in 1972 in Atlanta as the Atlanta Flames and moved to Calgary in 1980, playing its first three seasons at the Stampede Corral before moving in 1983 to the Scotiabank Saddledome, originally the Olympic Saddledome. The Flames won their first and only Stanley Cup in 1989 and reached the 2004 Stanley Cup Final, a run that gave rise to the Red Mile. They share the Battle of Alberta rivalry with the Edmonton Oilers, have won two Presidents' Trophies and eight division championships, and count Jarome Iginla as their franchise leader in games played, goals and points.
