Hitmen quieted in Langley
The double-tapping B.C. road trip for the Calgary Hitmen has gotten off to a less than desirable start. The Hitmen crossed off both road games scheduled in Victoria last weekend, as they dropped the series by a combined score of 11-4. Tonight at the Langley Events Centre, the Hitmen dropped […]
Nielsen’s presence presented problems for Blades
On a lost defensive faceoff, everyone has their assignments on who to cover in an attempt to turn the puck back over. Flying out to the point to block an attempted slap shot isn’t necessarily in the playbook for Calgary Hitmen’s leading scorer Jakob Stukel, but a little improvisation never […]
Bean-less Hitmen suffer glancing blow
A tumultuous week for the Calgary Hitmen ended on and unfortunate deflection in front of their own net with 9:28 remaining in regulation. Playing five games in seven days is a lot to handle, but other teams go through the same quirks at some point throughout the season. What most […]

The Calgary Hitmen’s third-ranked penalty kill was pinned against the Brandon Wheat Kings’ second-ranked power play for nearly two full minutes of six-on-four action. The Wheat Kings are one of the best teams in the Western […]
Hitmen hammer Hurricanes in the first, skate to a 6-3 win
Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome carried a different story than the night before at the Enmax Centre, but the ending remained the same. In the Calgary Hitmen’s second home-and-home series this season, this time featuring the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the Hitmen swept the affair with a pair of convincing 6-3 […]
Hitmen double up winless Blazers
Go ahead and insert your own proverbial phrase here about things not being as bad as they seem. Yes, the Calgary Hitmen haven’t had the greatest start to their season. But at least they are not the Kamloops Blazers. Taking advantage of the situation at hand, the Hitmen downed the […]
