With Dustin Wolf having a great rookie season with the Calgary Flames, let’s take a look at the four levels of hockey that call Cowtown home, from the pros all the way down to Junior A.
Dustin Wolf – Calgary Flames, NHL
Season: 22–12–5, 0.912 SV%, 2.53 GAA, three shutouts
The rookie’s performance this season has been impressive, which is a reason why the Calgary Flames are still in the hunt for a wild card spot. Dustin Wolf has had his name in the hat for the Calder Trophy and has made a strong case with his play. Currently, he ranks ninth in the league for save percentage among goalies with a minimum of 25 starts.
Despite playing for the league’s lowest-scoring team, Wolf has also put up impressive all-around statistics for a rookie, even setting the Flames shutout record for rookie goalies with three. If Wolf does take the Flames to the playoffs, it’s hard to imagine him not winning the Calder.
Devin Cooley – Calgary Wranglers, AHL
Season: 19–13–7, 0.912 SV%, 2.72 GAA, three shutouts
Devin Cooley joined the Flames organization over the summer, signing a two-year deal. He had a strong start to the season—winning 15 of his first 20 starts with the Calgary Wranglers—earning himself an invite to the AHL All-Star game.
Lately, Cooley has struggled, with only two wins in his past 15 games. His most recent win snapped an 11-game losing streak. Despite the recent setbacks, Cooley still has impressive stats with a 19–13–7 record, a 0.912 SV%, 2.53 goals against average, and three shutouts.
The Wranglers are currently in fifth place in the Pacific division but remain in contention for a playoff spot, sitting five points behind second place in the division. If Cooley returns to his early season form, the Wrangler’s chance to make the playoffs greatly increases.
Daniel Hauser – Calgary Hitmen, WHL
Season: 28–13–3, 0.912 SV%, 2.57 GAA, five shutouts
Daniel Hauser was traded to the Calgary Hitmen from the Wenatchee Wild at the beginning of 2025 to help in the Hitmen’s playoff push. Hauser picked up his first win in his first start with his new team and has gone 20–4–0 in 25 games with the Hitmen since the trade. The product of Chestermere was named the WHL Goaltender of the Month for February.
To kick off March, he set a franchise record for the Hitmen with four consecutive shutouts, passing Martin Jones, who previously held the record in the 2009–10 season with three shutouts. Hauser came close to breaking the record for consecutive shutout minutes, falling just 19 minutes short of Chris Worthy’s mark set during the 1967–68 season with the Flin Flon Bombers.
Last night, Hauser set a new WHL record for wins, collecting win number 123 of his WHL career with a 5–1 over the Red Deer Rebels, previously set by Saskatoon Blades Nolan Maier three seasons ago. With the season coming to a close, the Hitmen look to overtake the Medicine Hat Tigers to win first place in the Eastern Conference.
Lukas Renaud – Calgary Canucks, AJHL
Season: 23–9–1, 0.924 SV%, 2.23 GAA, three shutouts
Renaud joined the team in late September and quickly made his mark, picking up his first win and shutout of the season in his first game with the club. In his final season of junior hockey, Renaud was the second-ranked goaltender in the AJHL with a 0.924 SV% and a 2.23 GAA, posting an impressive record of 24–9–1 and picking up three shutouts.
Last season, Renuad was the backup for the Whitecourt Wolverines and played in parts of five playoff games, including one game against the Canucks, where his former team lost in four games in the AJHL finals.
Now—as a member of the Calgary Canucks—he has the opportunity to lead the number one AJHL team to another championship and has the chance to compete for the Centennial Cup when Calgary hosts the national championships in May.
