CALGARY - The Calgary Flames own a pro lacrosse team.
The NHL club has bought the National Lacrosse League's Calgary Roughnecks from Brad Banister.

Banister put the Roughnecks up for sale on the eve of this season after the Roughnecks ran into financial trouble in February, when Banister told players they would have to wait for their paycheques.
