Flames have re-signed Canadian defenceman Jonathan Racine. The 6’2”, 200lb player joined the club back in December, bringing a physical presence in 33 games where he had 11 assists and 120 penalty minutes. 

The 32-year-old made an NHL start during the 2013-2014 season with Florida Panthers and was a third round pick of the club in 2011. He iced in nearly 300 AHL games between 2013 and 2020 before his European tour that has since taken him to Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France and Romania.
