context_page_description: The 2011–12 Calgary Flames season was the 32nd season in Calgary and 40th for the Flames franchise in the National Hockey League. The Flames finished with a 37–29–16 record, finishing second in the Northwest Division and ninth in the Western Conference. The team failed to qualify for the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, the third consecutive year the team did not make the post-season.
  Three players reach major individual milestones during the season: Olli Jokinen appeared in his 1,000th game, goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff won his 300th game and captain Jarome Iginla became the 42nd player in NHL history to score 500 goals. Iginla was also named the Flames' lone representative at the 59th National Hockey League All-Star Game.
  Questions surrounded the future direction of the organization at seasons' end, as head coach Brent Sutter's three-year contract was set to expire after three non-playoff seasons and as with previous seasons, Iginla's future with the organization was again questioned, particularly given his contract had one year remaining after the 2011–12 season.
context_section_description: Two members of the Flames' 1989 Stanley Cup championship team were announced as members of the Hockey Hall of Fame's 2011 class.  Joe Nieuwendyk was a Flames draft pick in 1985 and won the Calder Memorial Trophy in 1988 as the league's rookie of the year.  He remained with the Flames until a 1995 trade sent him to the Dallas Stars.  He finished his career with 564 goals, 1,126 points and two additional Stanley Cup titles, with the Stars and New Jersey Devils. Doug Gilmour came to Calgary in 1988 as part of a trade with the St. Louis Blues and played parts of five seasons in Calgary until he was sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1992.  He finished his career with 450 goals and 1,414 points.
  The team announced the introduction of the "Forever a Flame" program during the season.  Former players honoured under the program will have a banner raised to the Saddledome rafters though their number will not be formally retired.  The first honouree was Al MacInnis, whose number 2 was raised in a ceremony on February 27. MacInnis was an eight-time all-star with the Flames and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as most valuable player of the playoffs with the 1989 Stanley Cup championship team.
