Cale Fleury's story
Growing up in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, and later moving to Calgary in 2002, Fleury learned the game in small-town rinks before stepping into major junior hockey with the Kootenay Ice. Drafted into the WHL in 2013, he worked his way into leadership roles with the Ice, eventually serving as alternate captain and then captain during his final seasons there.
Across four WHL campaigns Fleury developed a two-way profile, increasing his offensive output and earning a spot in the 2017 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. He finished the 2016–17 season with 11 goals and 27 assists in 70 games. Montreal selected him 87th overall at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft; later that year he was traded to the Regina Pats and helped that club reach the 2018 Memorial Cup final.
Fleury turned professional in 2018 after signing an entry-level deal with Montreal on October 4. He split time between the Laval Rocket in the AHL and the Canadiens, making his NHL debut on October 3, 2019, and scoring his first NHL goal on November 16, 2019, against New Jersey. The 2019–20 season saw him appear in 41 games with Montreal before a return to Laval.
Left unprotected in the 2021 expansion process, Fleury was selected by the Seattle Kraken on July 21, 2021, joining his brother Haydn in Seattle’s organization. Under contract with Seattle, he has alternated between the NHL club and its AHL affiliates — Charlotte then Coachella Valley — taking part in the Firebirds’ run to the 2024 Calder Cup Final and later signing a two-year deal in July 2023.
On the ice Fleury offers calm puck management from the back end and the willingness to jump into the play offensively. He combines steady positional play with the mobility to join transitions, providing reliable depth on the left side of a defensive corps as he moves between AHL top-pairing minutes and N H L call-ups.
