The Calgary Flames have welcomed Jarome Iginla back into the fold as the team’s all-time points leader will serve as a special advisor to general manager Craig Conroy, his former teammate.
“Dating as far back as our playing days with the Flames, Jarome and I have always talked about one day working together in the NHL,” said Conroy in a statement released Thursday. “That day has finally come and I’m happy to welcome him back to Calgary.
“Jarome provides a creative approach and smart hockey mind to our team blended with a passion for the game, and a desire to win the Stanley Cup.”“I am grateful to the Flames ownership and ‘Conny’ for this opportunity to transition my career back to the NHL,” said Iginla in a statement. “It’s a very well-earned acknowledgment for Conny as general manager and I am looking forward to supporting him and the team in a more engaged capacity.”The team named Conroy as G.M.
Iginla’s number was raised to the Saddledome rafters in 2019 following a 20-year Hall of Fame NHL career, the vast majority spent with the Flames. According to the Flames, Iginla will support the team this year in a shared time capacity and will continue to coach at the Rink Hockey Academy in Kelowna, B.C.Calgary Flames great Jarome Iginla elected to Hockey Hall of Fame
