Morgan Frost’s dad was doing everything he could to fire up the Calgary Flames prior to Tuesday’s game versus the San Jose Sharks.

The Flames had their highly anticipated dad’s trip over the weekend, starting with a game against the LA Kings on Saturday night. They were able to walk away with a 2-1 overtime victory in that first outing, before falling to the Sharks 6-3.

While Tuesday night’s matchup didn’t go the way the Flames had hoped, it was a lineup read from Andy Frost that had everybody talking in the early going.

“First of all, I want to say Merry Christmas,” Andy started. “Secondly, on behalf of all the fathers, the dad’s trip has been fantastic. Thank you.”

Then, the real fun began.

Andy read the starting lineup in a similar tone to what you would hear from an arena host. The enthusiasm and passion were on full display, and clearly got the Flames motivated. It was impossible not to notice Frost’s reaction, as he was beaming with pride throughout.

“It’s been awesome. Absolute riot to have the dads here,” MacKenzie Weegar said ahead of Tuesday’s game. “It was great to get a couple days, it doesn’t really happen with the schedule right now. Got a good football game in with the dads, and nice practice day with them yesterday.

“A lot of guys had one-on-one time with their dads yesterday, got to connect a little bit. It’s tough to spend quality time with them. Busy summers, lots of guys have families. It means a lot to them, but a lot to us as well.”

Spending quality time with their sons was far from the only highlight, either. During Tuesday’s game versus the Sharks, the dads were able to meet several players from the San Francisco 49ers, who were in attendance at the SAP Center.

Overall, it’s been a trying season for the Flames, who sit 31st in the NHL standings with a 13-17-4 record. This dad’s trip came at a good time, and could help ease some stress over what’s been a frustrating 2025-26 campaign thus far for Ryan Huska’s squad.
