Alex Gallant is a well-known enforcer for the Calgary Wranglers with over 12 years of professional hockey experience. Gallant is the longest standing member of the Flames’ AHL affiliation with game experience dating back to the 2019-20 season with the Stockton Heat.
The Calgary Wranglers announced their first two of the likely many contract signings expected this off-season on Friday. Alex Gallant and Kent Anderson are set to return to the Wranglers on one year AHL deals.
It has been announced this afternoon by the AHL that Calgary Wranglers forward Alex Gallant has been hit with a two-game suspension after his actions during the December 14th game against the Abbotsford Canucks.
The Calgary Flames have bolstered their minor league depth. On Thursday, the club announced that the Calgary Wranglers, their American Hockey League farm club, has signed forwards Martin Frk and Alex Gallant to one year AHL deals.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
The idea of an enforcer is something that has slowly phased its way out of professional hockey in the last decade or two. As the game has gotten faster, the roles, builds, and style of play of some of the league’s best have also evolved.
The Calgary Wranglers will be without one of their alternate captains for the remainder of the month. On Friday, the American Hockey League announced that forward Alex Gallant has been levied a six game suspension for his actions in Wednesday’s Wranglers win over the Tucson Roadrunners.
