Jarome Iginla had it all planned out.
Having arrived in his summer home in Kelowna weeks prior and passed through the 14 day quarantine, he was set for his potential call to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Family members gathered in anticipation for the event.
Except there was some miscommunication about timing, and Lanny McDonald called him as he was in his car running errands.
In a way, it’s almost fitting that the induction call was relatively low key for a player who relished performing on the big stages yet shied away from big talk or pronouncements.
