CALGARY — Former Kamloops Blazers captain Connor Zary has signed a three-year, US $11.325 million contract extension with the Calgary Flames.

The new contract carries an annual cap hit of US $3.775 million and it will expire after the 2027-28 NHL season, after which Zary will become a restricted free agent.

The 23-year-old Zary was coming off his entry-level contract, which he signed in Dec. 2020. The Saskatoon native put up 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games last season before he suffered a lower-body injury.

A first round pick of the Flames in the 2020 NHL Draft, Zary has 27 goals and 61 points in 117 career NHL games with Calgary.

The Saskatoon native played four seasons for the Blazers and finished with 80 goals and 208 points in 204 WHL regular season games. He also put up 38 goals and 100 points in 140 AHL regular season games with the Stockton Heat and the Calgary Wranglers.
