Flames goalie has brought his adorable pet bunny to Calgary

Posted on by newsbot

With training camp nearing, Devin Cooley has arrived in Calgary, and he’s brought a special somebody with him.

Cooley, who was signed to a two-year deal by the Flames earlier this offseason, shared a picture to his Instagram story that featured a scenic picture of downtown Calgary, along with his and his girlfriend Natalie’s pet bunny, Tito.

Tito is a five-year-old Mini Lop, who Flames were first introduced to shortly after Cooley signed his new deal this summer.

“We’re headed to Calgary!” Cooley captioned an Instagram photo that showed him holding Tito. “Couldn’t be more excited to join the Calgary Flames and the C of Red for the next two years!”

Tito has had his own Instagram page since early March, though the couple has been sharing photos of him for much longer. He accompanies them on many journeys, including to the beach, where he walks around with them on a leash.

As for Cooley himself, he’ll be looking to put together a big performance in training camp with hopes of impressing the Flames coaching staff. While it seems he’s on the outside looking in when it comes to an opening night roster spot, it’s by no means an impossible feat.

Projected starter Dustin Wolf is far from experienced at the NHL level and remains waiver-eligible for one more season. Dan Vladar, meanwhile, underwent season-ending hip surgery in late March, and it remains unclear whether or not he’s back to 100%.

Cooley was able to appear in the first six NHL games of his career a season ago with the San Jose Sharks. He also suited up for 14 AHL games with the Rochester Americans, posting a 3.77 goals against average (GAA) along with a .891 save percentage (SV%) in 14 appearances.

Should Cooley see some time with the Flames this season, Tito could quickly become a very famous pet in Calgary.
