The Calgary Flames just signed a top college free agent from right in their backyard.

23-year-old center Tyson Gross, a Calgary native, inked a two-year two-way deal with

an average annual value of $9.75.

$1,000.

As six foot three and 195 pounds, he capped in St. St. Staints.

Cloustedt University this season, putting up 18 goals and 23 assists for 41 points in

36 games.

That production ranked some tie for 15th and NCAA scoring, making him one of the hottest

names on the market.

Sports nets Eric Francis first broke the news, and the Flames made a deliberate push for

Gross as their main target this signing period.

For a local kid who grew up watching the Flames and played minor hockey with the Spring

Bank Rockies just outside Calgary, this hits different.

Now he gets to chase his NHL dream with the hometown team that inspired him.

Reports say Gross could debut in the NHL before the season ends, bolstering the Flames prospect

pool.

He's chasing two big NCAA scores already linked to Calgary prospect, even Wittenbach,

leads with 57 points and draft hopeful Gavin McKenna has 48.

Meanwhile, the Flames have spaced to add more before the deadline, with names like Center,

Jonathan Castagna, and Defenseman Abram Weeby in the mix from recent trades.
