What Jarome Iginla Meant to a Calgary Kid
I’m sure by now that everyone has read numerous posts detailing Jarome Iginla’s amazing accomplishments at the NHL level. I wanted to go slightly in a different direction.
After dressing for a total of 1635 NHL regular season and playoff games, Jarome Iginla’s illustrious career has come to an end with today’s retirement ceremony.
In those games, he racked up 662 goals, and 706 assists for a total of 1368 points. However, as dominating as Iginla was on the ice for the better part of two decades, it was his impact off the ice that will resonate just as much for Calgarians well into the future.
