In Episode 13 of The Heated Take, Freddie and Fiona sit down with Guildford Flames COO Kirk Humphreys for an open and wide-ranging conversation about the club, the league, and the questions Flames fans care about most.

Kirk reflects on his journey from growing up in Alberta to playing for the Flames, before moving off the ice into senior leadership. We talk about the realities of running a professional hockey club, how decisions get made behind the scenes, and how the Flames have evolved over time.

We also put fan questions front and centre, covering player movement and communication, injuries, recruitment and scouting, physicality and fighting, team competitiveness, fan experience, and the long-term outlook for the arena. It’s a respectful, honest discussion about where the club is now, where it’s trying to get to, and how supporters fit into that future.
