The Calgary Flames were reportedly among the teams trying to sign the University of Alberta standout. Luke Philp, his brother, is currently in the Flames organization with the Stockton Heat of the AHL.

Philp finished his third season with the Golden Bears, scoring 11 points (eight goals, three assists) in eight regular-season games. He had 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in four playoff games, and helped the University of Alberta to a Canada West title before losing in the Usports University Cup Final in a 5-4 double-overtime defeat to UQTR.
