History
In 2005, the AHL franchise of the Calgary Flames (the Saint John Flames, which existed from 1993-2003) was reestablished in Omaha. The Ak-Sar-Ben part of the team's name comes from the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, an Omaha civic organization, whose logo is integrated into the insignia of the team and is a partner with the current organization. Ak-Sar-Ben, which is "Nebraska" spelled backwards, was also the name of the arena of the original Omaha Knights. The team logo is shown with identical flame marks as the Calgary logo.Year-by-year record
