Steve Begin, who played 36 games with the Calgary Flames last season, signed a one-year contract Wednesday with the Abbotsford Heat, the Flames' American Hockey League team. Financial terms were not released.

Begin, 35, earned a contract with the Flames as a non-roster invitee to training camp, then had four goals, four assists and a minus-2 rating in 36 games last season.
