The Canadian sharpshooter will also celebrate his thirty-fourth birthday on Sunday and the game will bring to an end an incredible six year career on the Skydome ice. In nearly four hundred games for the Blaze, Calder has posted over 250 goals including this season's League Championship winning goal in Edinburgh last Saturday.
Calder is expected to be named as the Player/Coach of new Elite League club, Braehead Clan once this current season is complete, an opportunity that Blaze Head Coach, Paul Thompson says that his captain more than deserves.
"At this stage of his career, it's a wonderful opportunity for him and whilst I'm sad to be losing him, he's left a great legacy here. He's always liked the idea of moving into coaching at some point and this is an ideal chance for him to take that next step. He knows it's going to be a big change for him but he's up for it."
Calder joined the Blaze at the start of the 2004/05 season and apart from a short spell in Sweden, has spent six years in Coventry. During that time he has helped the team to eight major trophies including four Elite League titles, two Challenge Cups, One Knockout Cup and one Play Off Championship. He is the Elite League's all time leading scorer and has won a host of major honours including being named the Elite League's Player of the Season in 2007/08.
"He's been a franchise player for this club since he came here," added Thompson. "And we have been very lucky to have had his on and off ice presence here for so many years. I wish him all the best.
"This Sunday will be the last chance for Blaze fans to see Calds on the ice at the Skydome in a Coventry shirt and hopefully we'll have a big crowd to give him the send off he deserves."
