If it were up to Ryan Lomberg, he\u2019d be wearing a Calgary Flames jersey for the 2026-27 season and beyond.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old joined the Flames on a two-year deal after winning a Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers in 2024. He quickly became a fan favourite in Calgary, partly due to how much he seems to love the organization.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, his time with the organization may be coming to an end sooner than both he and many fans had hoped.<\/p>\n
Lomberg\u2019s two-year deal is set to expire on July 1, which will then turn him into a free agent. The scrappy winger has gone on record stating his desire to remain a Flame, but admitted on Friday he doesn\u2019t know whether or not an extension will be signed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve been pretty vocal about how much I love Calgary, how much I want to be part of it, how much I love the people, the organization, all that stuff.\u201d \u2013 Ryan Lomberg, who is a pending UFA#Flames<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Colton Pankiw (@Coltonpankiw) April 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not exactly sure what\u2019s going to happen here. Things change so quickly this time of year,\u201d Lomberg said to Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon on Sportsnet 960<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s really nothing definitive about my life at all right now. Everything\u2019s kind of up in the air, this and that. Time will tell is kind of the answer I\u2019ve been telling people, because I\u2019ve got no idea what\u2019s going to go on.\u201d<\/p>\n While his playing future remains uncertain, Lomberg\u2019s work in the Calgary community has remained ongoing. On Tuesday, June 30, he\u2019s set to host Camp Lombo, which offers children of Calgary first responders the opportunity to take part in activities with Lomberg, including ball hockey, flag football, and even an on-ice session with the 394-NHL game veteran.<\/p>\n
