The annual Young Stars Tournament begins today in Penticton. After a busy summer for the Calgary Flames, it's a nice way to ease into training camp because it doesn't involve much in the way of stakes. Nobody gets cut based on the camp. The winners don't get a trophy. There's no parade, either.
But despite the low stakes, the three games that the Flames play could be pretty important for the futures of a handful of players that will be representing the team at the event.
MIKKEL AAGAARD
A soon-to-be 21-year-old product of Denmark, Aagaard came over to North America in 2014-15 via the import draft and put up 96 points in 123 OHL games.
