The Calgary Flames will be kicking off the new NHL season on Wednesday evening at home against the Winnipeg Jets.
It will be the first season for the team with new head coach Ryan Huska and general manager Craig Conroy at the helm.
There will also be some new faces in the lineup, including A.J. Greer, who was picked up this week after the Boston Bruins put him on waivers.
The 191-centimetre (6'3"), 95-kilogram (209-pound) forward was sixth in the league for penalty minutes last year.
He told the media that while the past few days have been a 'whirlwind,' he's happy to be in Calgary.
"(I'm) super excited, you know, a club with a lot of tradition and history," he said Tuesday.
"You know, I've had a warm welcome from the staff, the management and players, so I'm super excited to get things going and just show what I can do and get the W."
