After not playing for the last two seasons, it appears that the career of former Calgary Flames first rounder Morgan Klimchuk is over.

On the weekend, the Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League announced that Klimchuk has been hired as one of their new assistant coaches for the 2022-23 campaign.

Klimchuk, 27, was selected in the first round (28th overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Flames. The pick used to draft Klimchuk was acquired by Calgary in the Jarome Iginla trade with Pittsburgh.

The Regina native only appeared in one NHL game in his career, with Calgary in 2017-18, and played parts of six seasons in the American Hockey League with the Abbotsford/Stockton Heat, Toronto Marlies and Belleville Senators.

Best of luck to Morgan in his role with the Victoria Royals!
