It’s a monumental day in Calgary sports history, folks. Today’s the day, after years of waiting, that Jarome Iginla gets the call for induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Probably.)
The official induction announcement is scheduled to go at 2:30 p.m. MT on TSN.
For those of you just joining us, Iginla played for the Flames between 1996 and 2013. He captained the team from 2003 to 2013 and owns effectively the entire career offensive leaderboard in franchise history. He led the NHL in points once and in goals twice. He won two Olympic gold medals. He was really great at hockey.
Anyway, he’s going into the Hall of Fame most likely later this year in his first year of eligibility. He joins a lot of people with Flames ties already in the Hall:
- Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion [1972; Player] – head coach, Atlanta (1972-75)
