Professional

Upon his team's elimination from the 2010 WHL Playoffs, Bouma played his first professional games, joining the Flames' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat, for five playoff games.[2] He scored one goal, against the Hamilton Bulldogs in the second round of the AHL playoffs.[7] Bouma joined the Heat full-time for the 2010–11 AHL season, and with 11 goals through his first 49 games, was approaching his best career best goal total at any level.[8]

On February 3, 2011, Bouma received his first NHL recall by the Flames.[9] He made his NHL debut two nights later against the Los Angeles Kings,[10] and scored his first point, assisting on a Mikael Backlund goal, on February 7 against the Chicago Blackhawks.[11] It was the only point he scored in 16 NHL games with the Flames.[12]

Bouma split the 2011–12 season between the Heat and the Flames. In Abbotsford, he recorded three goals, three assists, and 53 penalty minutes in 31 games. In Calgary, he appeared in 27 games and scored three points.[12] Bouma scored his first NHL goal on January 7, 2012, against Niklas Bäckström of the Minnesota Wild in a 3-1 victory.[13] Bouma was expected to make the Flames roster for the start of the 2012–13 NHL season, however a labour dispute resulted in his being assigned to Abbotsford instead. He played only three games for the Heat before suffering a serious knee injury.[14] He missed the remainder of the season and required two surgeries to repair his medial collateral and Anterior cruciate ligaments.[15]

Returning healthy for the 2013–14 season, Bouma established himself as a regular in the Flames lineup with his physical, two-way play and was praised by coach Bob Hartley as being the team's "most improved player".[16] On August 27, 2014, the Flames re-signed Bouma, who was a restricted free agent, to a one-year contract worth $577,500.[17]

Following the

qualifying offer to retain his NHL rights, and on July 5, 2015, Bouma filed for salary arbitration.[18]

With two successive disappointing seasons driven by injury and a lack of production on June 30, 2017, the Flames announced Bouma was placed on unconditional waivers to buy out the remaining year of his contract.
