Calgary Flames Sign Top College Free Agent Tyson Gross

It's March 13th for the Calgary Flames. Let's get into it.

The Calgary Flames added some excitement by signing Tyson Gross,

the top college free agent available this spring.

This 23-year-old center from Calgary spent three seasons at St. Cloud State,

where he served as captain. As six foot three and 195 pounds,

he's a right-handed forward ready to join the pro ranks.

Gross put a 41 points in 36 games during the 2025-2026 season,

landing him in the top 20 for national, scoring.

The flames wrapped up the deal yesterday, bringing them to 48 of 50 contracts.

Scouts highlight his strong face-off skills,

winning nearly 60% of his draws, along with heavy ice time of over 20 minutes per game in.

All situations, they like how he uses his size near the net and his shooting touch,

though he might need to sharpen his agility for pro play.

Many teams chased him, but Calgary emerged as the frontrunner,

after inviting him to development camp before.

His physical style, quick skating and smart play make him a great fit for the flames young group.

Fans and analysts see big potential here, especially with the upcoming draft.

Expect Gross to debut in the NHL before the season wraps,

adding that mental toughness and right shot center death, the team craves.
