Brian Burke to step down as president of Flames

The Calgary Flames announced Friday that president of hockey operations Brian Burke will be stepping back from the organization effective May 1.

“When Brian came to us in September 2013 we discussed a structure and timeline of four to five years for his new role. Each year we review our mandate going forward and determined together that we would move on,” said Ken King, CSEC President & CEO.

“Brian’s leadership and guidance of our hockey operations and work with General Manager Brad Treliving have been exemplary and we are grateful for his contributions. His charity work and organizational representation in our community are legendary as he has touched so many with his generosity.”

Thank you to the @NHLFlames organization and fans for all your support. Southern Alberta is a great place for hockey and I feel lucky to have called Calgary home 🏒🔥🙏
