Dan Themig, Packers Plus President & CEO, says, "We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Joe Colborne and the Calgary Flames for Colborne's Forces. The commitment of our men and women in uniform, and their families, is invaluable."

At select home games, CAF members and their families will be recognized with a salute from fans and from Packers Plus. They will also meet Joe after the game.

"I have always had a deep respect for the work that the Canadian Armed Forces do to protect our country and I am humbled to be able to give back to them through this program, Colborne's Forces. They sacrifice so much for our freedom and I can't thank them enough for their honour and commitment to our country." - Calgary Flames forward, Joe Colborne
