[Aaron Vickers] Weegar on Conroy: “It’s a great decision and a great move for the organization. I think he gets the game really well and he’s an infectious guy. He wants to win, and he wants to have fun while doing it.”
MacKenzie Weegar was very complimentary of the #Flames move to hire Conroy as GM this AM: "It's a great decision and a great move for the organization. I think he gets the game really well and he's an infectious guy. He wants to win, and he wants to have fun while doing it."

More from Weegar:
“I think you need to play the game and understand the game and he’s done that. He’s got a great background full of hockey and being behind Brad for so long. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do for this team and improve the team down the road here.
I think there’s more potential to be had with the team that we have to have more offense. There is room to have a little bit more fun. I’m looking forward to the culture he’s going to bring and the character guys he’s going to bring in.”
Toffoli on Conroy:
“He’s put in a lot of work. He played a lot of games, and the past bunch of years he’s been working and doing all the other stuff, seeing the other side of the spectrum of the management side. He’s deserved it and I think everybody is excited for him.”
Honestly. I think Weegar deserves an A. Dude is nothing but a class act on and off the ice. No other flames player has done as many pressers and media appearances then Weegar, who absolutely excels at them as well.
Seems to be a guy always willing to push himself and help others around him. Regardless of who won the trade, Weegar is an absolute beauty who I love having on this team.
I looked it up, only one flame ever played with or against Craig conroy: Mikael Backlund. Teammates for 3 seasons. The only other player who played in conroys last year were Lewis and tanev, but conroy didn’t dress against them.
I am thinking hes a future C after Backlund retires.
That said… Bring in Mitch Love and Let’s do this.
I’d be happy with a 2nd C on Weegar’s jersey
I like Weegar because he’s got some nasty grit. At times, he showed more give a darn than most on the team.
