Darryl Sutter announced that he has signed a 2-way deal with Burnaby, BC native Chris Chucko. As per team guidelines, the details of the contract were not released.
Chucko played for the AHL Quad City Flames last season. You can expect him to play the majority of the time in Abbotsford this season, except for maybe 10-15 games with the Flames.
Chucko had 28 goals and 51 points for the QC Flames last season and got a taste of the NHL when he suited up for the Calgary Flames twice in March.
Greg is the founder of Red Mile Blog has been following the Flames through good times and bad since they arrived in Calgary in the early 80s. He has written hundreds of articles on the Flames since 2005 and considers himself an expert on hockey inconsistency and frustration. He shoots right and usually plays defence, but has been known to jump up in the rush. He is a 2-time CAHL men's league champion and knows the sweet taste of beer from a Cup.
