Kansas City Mavericks News Release


INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The Kansas City Mavericks have renewed their affiliation with the NHL's Calgary Flames and AHL's Stockton Heat, announced Tuesday by the clubs.

"We're thrilled to continue building our relationship with the Flames and Heat," said Mavericks President and General Manager Brent Thiessen. "Partnering with the Flames' organization allows us to maintain our momentum within the affiliation and work with a top-notch franchise with a build-from-the-bottom philosophy. The Mavericks and I look forward to year two of what we believe will be one of the premier partnerships in all of professional hockey."

The new agreement brings the partnership into its second season. Kansas City saw six players from within the Flames' organization in 2017-18, including goalies Mason McDonald and Tyler Parsons, defenseman Kayle Doetzel and forwards Mike McMurtry, Darren Nowick and Hunter Smith.

"We're pleased to renew our ECHL affiliation with the group in Kansas City," said Stockton Head Coach Cail MacLean. "Our players were well taken care of and we view Kansas City as a premier franchise in the ECHL. We look forward to growing our relationship again this season."

The Mavericks are poised to enter their fifth year in the ECHL and 10th as a club in the 2018-19 season.
