Two-time Stanley Cup champ Trevor Lewis wants ring with Flames (Calgary Sun)

Of course, he'd like to win another — alongside Sutter and Kadri and his other Flames teammates — this year with a special run of their own.

D Noah Hanifin was back practising for the Flames during Tuesday’s morning skate and suited up for the evening affair … It’s something you dream about as a kid. “Then, you get a feeling in camp that you’re ready — you get those good skates and good practices. These days, you can find Lewis either flanking Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman on quite the two-way third line for the Flames. definitely, ” said Lewis with a smile. It doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s fourth line or third line or PK or wherever. We kind of lean on each other and go from there.” On the ice, I try to lead by example out there. “I think I know my role — I’ve been doing it for a long time,” said the 35-year-old Lewis, a native of Salt Lake City, Utah. “So that’s where you want to start.” I’m still recalling things that I didn’t remember a while ago, so it’s pretty special.” Article content
