Following the conclusion of the regular NHL season, the Calgary Flames and other teams missing out on playoff spots held their exit interviews.

Defenseman Mackenzie Weegar, who recently completed his debut season with the Flames, had much to say about his experience.

At 29 years old, Weegar had a great season in Calgary, racking up 31 points and a +15 goal differential across 81 games.

Weegar Expresses Concerns Over Saddledome's State

In 2022, reports emerged that the Flames' arena was literally falling apart.

The Saddledome's deteriorating condition is no secret, and Weegar addressed the issue during his exit interview.

"I think we need a new rink. Maybe that'll help. The Saddledome obviously's got some character. Maybe a couple updates could make it look a little bit better" - Mackenzie Weegar

Weegar didn't mince words when expressing his concerns about the Saddledome, which could negatively impact the team's on-ice performance. To enhance the experience for everyone involved, the Flames should give serious thought to either relocating or constructing a new arena.

If players are don't like their workplace, it's evident that a change is urgently needed.
