The Calgary Flames development camp may have more to do with conditioning, training and education than the scrimmage finale, but don't tell that to the fans who packed the Joan Synder Arena at Winsport on July 7 to see the fresh new faces vying for a chance to catch on fire.

The tradition of a scrimmage at the camp's end saw prospects work their way through a series of five-on-fives, four-on-fours, three-on-threes and short-handed scenarios as well as shoot outs. Among them was second round draft pick Dillon Dube, of Cochrane, who continues to impress the Calgary Flames brass.He was one of the three centres on Team Conroy and was among the 40 at the camp, 24 of whom are already the Flames property.

Due to his age,18 turning 19 in July, Dube is set to return to the Kelowna Rockets for the 2017-18 season but the Flames have high hopes of him joining the team the following year.

During the scrimmage he showcased the strengths that made him a sought after forward. He's quick on the blades, and when he's not setting up drives with hockey knowledge beyond his years, he's pushing hard for the net or is grinding it out on the backcheck. He drew a penalty shot on one of the scrimmage's sequences but failed to score.

In the spring, Dube got a taste of the American Hockey League, playing one game with the Stockton Heat after the Rockets' aspirations were cutshort by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL western finals.

Next up for Dube is a development camp in Plymouth, Michigan for the national junior team. He's among the 25 forwards vying for an invitation to the December selection camp.

In March, Dube signed a three-year entry level deal with the Flames and was picked 56th overall in the 2016 draft.
