The Flames and NHL are thrilled to announce the United by Hockey Mobile Museum is making its way to Calgary starting on Nov. 1, 2023.
This unique mobile experience celebrates hockey’s trailblazers, changemakers and business leaders spanning across multiple underrepresented and multicultural demographics.
