Stars have kids draw logos, Flames’ Lomberg brings out inner ‘Rambo’
Wednesday marked schedule release day in the NHL for the 2025-26 season, and teams got creative with their announcements on social media.
The Dallas Stars recruited kids who play for the Stars’ youth hockey program to draw the logo of each of their opponents this season.

In another video, Calgary Flames forward Ryan Lomberg showed off his acting skills, parodying the hit movie series “Rambo.” Lomberg dressed up as Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character as the video went through the team’s opponents.
Cal Clutterbuck also did some acting, helping out with the New York Islanders schedule release video in the role as a summer intern with the team.
