The Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSE) is a professional sports and entertainment company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that was formed in 2012.[1] It succeeded the Calgary Flames Limited Partnership (CFLP), which represented the group that has owned the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL) since 1980. CFLP subsequently acquired ownership of the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League (NLL), the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Adirondack Flames of the American Hockey League (AHL). The group also manages the Scotiabank Saddledome arena in Calgary. CSE is privately owned by the six owners that formed the CFLP and is chaired by N. Murray Edwards. Ken King is the chief executive officer.[2]
