Jarome Iginla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla[1][2] (/drom nl/; born July 1,
1977) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and an alternate captain for the Colorado
Avalanche in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was a longtime member and former captain
of the Calgary Flames and also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins before joining
the Avalanche in 2014.

Jarome Iginla

As a junior, Iginla was a member of two Memorial Cup winning teams with the Kamloops Blazers
and was named the Western Hockey League (WHL)'s Player of the Year in 1996. He was selected
11th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, but was traded to Calgary prior to
making his NHL debut. He led the NHL in goals and points in 200102, and won the Lester B.
Pearson Award as its most valuable player as voted by the players. In 200304, Iginla led the league
in goals for the second time and captained the Flames to the Stanley Cup Finals, leading the playoffs
in goals.
A six-time NHL All-Star, he is the Flames' all-time leader in goals, points, and games played, and is
second in assists to Al MacInnis. Iginla scored 50 goals in a season on two occasions and is one of
seven players in NHL history to score 30 goals in 11 consecutive seasons. He has scored 589 goals
and 1,226 points in his career. He is a past winner of the Mark Messier Leadership Award and has
been recognized by both the Flames and the league for his community work; Iginla donates $2,000
to the children's charity Kidsport for every goal he scores.
Internationally, Iginla has represented Canada on numerous occasions. He was a member of
championship teams at the 1996 World Junior and 1997 World Championships as well as the 2004
World Cup of Hockey. He is a three-time Olympian and two-time gold medal winner, including at
the 2002 Winter Olympics where he helped lead Canada to its first Olympic hockey championship
in 50 years.

Early life
Iginla was born in Edmonton, Alberta, and raised in nearby St. Albert. His father, a lawyer, was originally from Nigeria and changed his first name
from Adekunle to Elvis when he arrived in Canada.[3] His surname means "Big tree" in Yoruba, his father's native language.[4] Iginla's mother, Susan,
is originally from Oregon, and has worked as a massage therapist and music teacher. Iginla grew up with his mother and grandparents after his parents
divorced when he was a year old.[3] While his mother is a Buddhist, he identifies himself as Christian, his father's faith.[5]
In addition to hockey, Iginla played baseball as a young man and was the catcher on the Canadian national junior team.[4] He credits his grandfather for
his hockey career, as with his mother working and father attending law school, he would not have had the opportunity to play sports at a high level if
not for his grandfather's support.[6] Iginla grew up admiring other black hockey players, including Edmonton Oilers goaltender Grant Fuhr. Emulating
Fuhr, Iginla played goaltender in his first two years of organized hockey before switching to the right wing.[7] He played his entire minor hockey
career in St. Albert, leading the Alberta Midget Hockey League in scoring as a 15-year-old with 87 points for the St. Albert Midget Raiders in 1992
93.[4]

Junior career
Iginla played three years with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL). As a 16-year-old in 199394, he recorded six goals and
29 points in 48 regular season games before playing an additional 19 in the playoffs.[8] The Blazers captured both the league title and the 1994
Memorial Cup, Canada's national junior championship.[9] In reference to the Blazers' dominance of the league at the time (they had won their third
WHL title in five seasons), Iginla described the expectations of success as being similar to those placed on the Montreal Canadiens, the NHL's most
successful franchise: "When you put on a Blazers jersey, it's like putting on the Canadiens'. You've got to perform."[10]
Iginla scored 33 goals and 71 points in 199495, his first full WHL season.[8] The Blazers repeated as league champions, earning a trip to the 1995
Memorial Cup. Iginla scored five goals in the tournament to lead the Blazers to a second consecutive national championship. He received the George
Parsons Trophy as the most sportsmanlike player of the tournament.[11]
The Dallas Stars selected Iginla with their first pick, 11th overall, in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft; however, on December 20, 1995, they traded him to
the Calgary Flames, along with Corey Millen, for the rights to forward Joe Nieuwendyk, then in a contract dispute with the Flames.[12]
In his final season in Kamloops in 199596, Iginla finished fourth in league scoring with 136 points, including 63 goals in 63 games played, and was
awarded the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as the league's most outstanding player.[13] The Blazers were upset in the Western Conference Final by
the Spokane Chiefs, but Iginla still finished fourth in playoff scoring, recording 29 points in 16 games.[14] His performance during the season earned
him an invitation to play for Team Canada at the 1996 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Boston, where he led the tournament in scoring
with 12 points and helped Canada to its fourth consecutive gold medal.[15]

NHL career
Iginla made his NHL debut in the 1996 Stanley Cup playoffs, as he was signed to a contract and flown
to Calgary immediately after his junior season ended in Kamloops. He appeared in two games for the
Flames in their series against the Chicago Blackhawks. In doing so, he became the first 18-year-old to
play for the Flames since Dan Quinn in 1983.[16] In his first NHL game, Iginla assisted on a Theoren
Fleury goal to record his first point;[17] he scored his first goal in his second game.[18] He remained with
the Flames, and played his first NHL season in 199697. He earned a spot on that year's NHL AllRookie Team and finished as the runner-up to Bryan Berard in voting for the Calder Memorial Trophy
as rookie of the year after leading all first-year players in scoring with 50 points.[19]
By his third season, 199899, Iginla led the Flames in goals with 28.[19] His success complicated
negotiations for a new contract, as he and the Flames struggled to agree on a new deal following the
season. Hoping to help resolve the contract impasse, Iginla agreed to attend training camp without a
contract and purchased his own insurance as the team would not have been responsible financially if he
suffered an injury. He remained without a contract at the start of the 19992000 season and missed the
first three games as a holdout before signing a three-year deal worth US$4.9 million, plus bonuses.[19][20]
He finished the year with career highs in goals (29) and points (63). He then topped both marks in 2000
01 by recording 31 goals and 71 points.[19]
After participating in Canada's Olympic summer camp before the season, Iginla again set new personal
highs in 200102 when he registered 52 goals and 96 points. This season elevated Iginla to superstar

status.[21] He earned the Art Ross and Maurice Richard trophies as the NHL's leading point and goal
scorer, respectively.[19] He was also awarded the Lester B. Pearson Award as the league's most valuable player as voted by his peers, and was a
nominee for both the Hart Memorial Trophy and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The Hart Trophy voting proved to be controversial: Iginla tied
Canadiens goaltender Jos Thodore in voting points, but received fewer first place votes than Thodore.[22] However, one voter, rumoured to be from
QuebecThodore and the Canadiens' home provinceinexplicably left Iginla off his ballot. As a result of the controversy that followed, the
Professional Hockey Writers Association changed the rules on how its members voted for the award to prevent a recurrence.[23]
There were fears Iginla would again hold out after his contract expired following the season.[24] They were unfounded, however, as he signed a twoyear, $13 million deal before the season and was looked on to again lead the Flames offensively.[25] Iginla fell back to 67 points in 200203 as injuries,
including a lingering finger dislocation following a fight, diminished his play.[26] His 35 goals were still enough to lead the Flames for the fourth time
in five seasons.[19] Despite his offensive contributions, the Flames missed the playoffs.[27]

Flames captaincy
At the start of the 200304 season, Iginla was named the 18th captain in Flames franchise history, and 14th since the team moved to Calgary from
Atlanta in 1980.[28] His predecessor as captain, Craig Conroy, cited Iginla's experience and leadership for his decision to relinquish the captaincy. "He
was a leader on that team and old enough to where he'd been there a long time. It was time for him. He took us to the Stanley Cup Final that year so it
worked out pretty well."[29] Iginla was reported to be the first black captain in NHL history,[30] though former Blackhawks captain Dirk Graham, who
is of African descent, has also been said to hold that honour.[31]

Iginla responded to being named captain by capturing his second Rocket Richard Trophy, sharing the
goal-scoring title with Ilya Kovalchuk and Rick Nash with 41 goals.[32] The Flames qualified for the
2004 Stanley Cup playoffs as the sixth seed, the team's first playoff appearance in eight years.[33] Iginla
led all playoff scorers with 13 goals as he captained the Flames to their first Stanley Cup finals
appearance in 15 years. The Flames were unable to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning, however, falling to
the Eastern Conference champions in seven games. A dejected Iginla sat in the Flames locker room after
the final game and was met by his father, who told his son that "I'm proud of you. All of Canada is
proud of you."[34]
While he was hailed as the best player in the world following his performance in the playoffs,[35][36]
Iginla spent the 200405 NHL lockout focused on improving his game further.[37] Following the
lockout, he was named as one of six player representatives on the newly created NHL competition
committee, with a mandate to suggest recommendations for ways to improve the game. He held this
position until early 2008.[38]

ceremony.

On December 7, 2006, Iginla reached career milestones when he scored his 300th career goal and 600th
career point against the Minnesota Wild.[39] He was expected to play in the 2007 NHL All-Star Game in
Dallas; however, he missed the game with a knee injury.[40] The injury kept him out of 12 games in

200607. He nevertheless scored 94 points, including a career-high 55 assists.[19]

The 200708 season saw Iginla post his second career 50 goal season, adding 48 assists for a career
high 98 points,[19] good for third overall in the league.[42] He was voted to the starting line-up of the
2008 NHL All-Star Game along with teammate Dion Phaneuf,[43] and was named captain of the
Western All-Star Team.[44] He broke the Flames' franchise record for games played when he played
his 804th career game on November 29, 2007, against the Anaheim Ducks. He also broke Theoren
Fleury's franchise record for goals when he scored his 365th on March 10, 2008, against the St.
Louis Blues.[19] Iginla was nominated as a Hart Trophy finalist for league most valuable player for
the third time, though he again did not win the award.[45] During the season, he signed a five-year
contract extension with the Flames at $7 million per season.[46]

"I think it was a very classy thing to do. I think

Jarome is one of the most classy players in the
league, not only that, he's probably the best player
in the league. When you have a captain like that, it
was certainly a very classy move on their part, no
doubt."

Flames players in shaking Linden's hand following
his final NHL game, April 5, 2008[41]

Iginla continued his pursuit of Fleury's franchise record of 830 points in 200809. He recorded his 800th point with a first period assist against the
Chicago Blackhawks on December 19, 2008.[47] He ended 2008 with a career high five points in a New Year's Eve game against the Edmonton Oilers.
He had 14 previous four point games.[48] In January, he was named to the 2009 NHL All-Star Game in Montreal, his fifth such selection.[49]
Representing the Western Conference, Iginla scored his first career NHL All-Star Game goal in a 1211 shootout loss.[50] He passed Fleury as the
Flames' all-time scoring leader on March 1, 2009, by recording five points, including his 400th career goal, in an 86 loss to the Lightning.[51] He
finished the season with 35 goals and 89 points, but a disappointing playoff performance led to questions of whether he had been playing with an
injury. Iginla quickly denied the rumour, admitted that he had not played with the level of consistency he expected and stated that he would spend the
summer focused on improving his play in 200910.[52]

Milestones
The Flames struggled in 200910, failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2003.[53]
Iginla accepted responsibility for the team's failure, admitting that finishing around 70 points for the
season was "not enough".[54] The Flames' declining fortunes and Iginla's season led to increasing
questions on whether he could be traded from the team he has played his entire NHL career with.[55]
Iginla, who would have to approve any trade the team attempts to make due to a no-movement clause in
his contract, expressed that he did not wish to leave Calgary, but would accommodate a trade if the
Flames wished to do so.[56] Former Flames' general manager Craig Button argued against trading Iginla,
blaming a lack of complementary players for both Iginla and Calgary's failures: "There's nothing easier
in hockey than to be able to shut down one player. And the Calgary Flames, I would argue, have made it
really easy for teams to shut down Jarome."[57] The Flames publicly stated that they had no plans to
trade him.[58]
Individually, Iginla reached 900 career points in a two-goal, two-assist effort against the Oilers on
January 30, 2010.[59] Six nights later, he played his 1,000th career game against the Florida Panthers.[60]
Iginla struggled offensively to begin the 201011 season, and with the Flames falling to the bottom of
the standings, there was renewed speculation over his future in Calgary. Team management repeatedly
reiterated that they were not interested in moving him to another team.[61][62] Improving his game as the
season wore on, Iginla reached another personal milestone, recording his 500th career assist on January
11, 2011, the same day he was named to play in his sixth All-Star Game.[63] He announced several days
later that he had declined to play in the All-Star Game as he wished to spend the time with his ailing
grandmother.[64]

Iginla scored his 30th goal of the season on a penalty shot against the Nashville Predators on March 6, 2011, and in doing so became the 10th player in
NHL history to score at least 30 goals in ten consecutive seasons.[65] A month later, he scored his 1,000th career point, notching the game-winning
goal against the St. Louis Blues in a 32 win on April 1, 2011.[66]
Iginla scored his 500th goal on January 7, 2012, against Niklas Bckstrm of the Minnesota Wild in a 31 victory. He was the 42nd player in league
history to achieve the feat, and the 15th to do so with one organization.[67] Midway through the 201112 season, Iginla was named an All-Star for the
seventh time in his career (the sixth played), representing the Flames at the 2012 All-Star Game.[68]
Iginla scored his 30th goal of the 201112 season in a 32 win against goaltender Antti Niemi of the San Jose Sharks on March 13, 2012. He is the
seventh player in league history to score 30 goals in 11 consecutive seasons.[69]

Pittsburgh and Boston

Playing the final year of his contract in 201213 and with the team languishing near the bottom of the
NHL standings, speculation about Iginla's future in Calgary was again raised as the April 3, 2013, trade
deadline neared.[70] National media outlets reported that Iginla, who had a clause in his contract
preventing the Flames from moving him to another team without his permission, had given the
organization a list of four teams he would be willing to accept a trade with: the Chicago Blackhawks,
Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins or Pittsburgh Penguins.[71] The Bruins were considered the leading
contender to acquire Iginla's services, and after he was held out of the lineup of Calgary's March 27,
2013, game against the Colorado Avalanche, it was reported that a trade between the two teams had
been completed.[72] Instead, Iginla's 16-year career in Calgary ended when he was sent to the Penguins
in exchange for Pittsburgh's first round selection at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and college prospects
Kenny Agostino and Ben Hanowski.[73] Iginla stated that playing with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni
Malkin played a factor in his decision to move to the Penguins.[74] The Bruins and Penguins met in the
2013 Eastern Conference Finals. Despite having the top scoring offense in the league, the Penguins lost
the series without winning a game. Iginla, along with Crosby, Malkin, James Neal and Kris Letang,
registered a combined 0 points in the series. Iginla was moved to the third line after a 61 Game 2 loss.
Bruins forward Milan Lucic said after the series that Iginla's spurning of Boston ignited the series
sweep: "When a guy chooses another team over your team, it does light a little bit of a fire underneath

Iginla in 2014 with the Boston Bruins

you." [75]
As a free agent following the season, Iginla chose to go to Boston and signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Bruins.[76] He required nine
games before scoring his first goal as a Bruin, as part of a 21 win over the San Jose Sharks,[77] but later settled in on Boston's first line with Milan
Lucic and David Krej.[78] He made his first return to Calgary on December 10, 2013, where the fans greeted him with a long standing ovation prior
to the game as the Flames played a video tribute. Following the contest, a 21 Bruins victory, Iginla was named the game's third star and took two laps
around the rink to more cheers from the crowd.[79] He recorded his 600th career assist in a 31 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on February 4,
2014.[80]

Colorado Avalanche
Salary cap constraints prevented the Bruins from re-signing Iginla. Consequently, he left the team as a free agent and signed a three-year, $16 million
contract with the Colorado Avalanche.[81] The Avalanche disappointed in 201415; by mid-February, they stood in last place in the Central Division,
though Iginla himself was among the team's leading scorers.[82] He led the team with 29 goals, however the Avalanche failed to qualify for the
playoffs.[83]

International play
Iginla first represented Canada at the 1994 Nations Cup, an unsanctioned tournament for players
under the age of 18. He led Canada in scoring with five goals and nine points as it won the gold
medal.[84] Two years later, he joined the national junior team at the 1996 World Junior Ice Hockey
Championships. He led the tournament in scoring with five goals and 12 points as Canada won its
fourth consecutive gold medal. He was named an all-star and the tournament's top forward.[4][15]
One year later, Iginla played in his first tournament with the senior team, competing at the 1997
World Championships as a 19-year-old, the youngest player on the team.[85] He recorded two goals
and three assists in 11 games as Canada won the gold medal.[8]
A late invitation to join Team Canada's summer camp in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics
helped Iginla emerge as a star player. He was so surprised by the invite he initially thought one of
his Calgary Flames teammates was playing a prank on him.[86] He scored two goals in the gold
medal game, a 52 victory over the United States, as Canada won its first Olympic gold medal in
50 years.[87] With this win, Iginla became the first black man to win a gold medal at the Winter
Olympics.[88] Iginla also represented Canada at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey as an alternate
captain, playing on a line with Joe Sakic and Mario Lemieux.

In his prime, Iginla was considered to be one of the NHL's most prominent power forwards.[96]
Upon entering the league, he tried to emulate players like Brendan Shanahan and Keith Tkachuk,
hoping to match their combination of finesse and physicality.[36] He is one of the most consistent scorers
in the league; between 1998 and 2008, only Jaromr Jgr scored more NHL goals than Iginla.[97] Even
so, scouting reports have argued that Iginla's lack of speed makes it easier for opponents to isolate him
and restrict his ability to move if his teammates rely on him too much to lead the offence.[98]
The abuse he faced at the hands of opponents early in his NHL career prompted Iginla's coaches to work
at developing his physical play. While he was not enthusiastic about fighting, Iginla accepted then head
coach Brian Sutter's arguments that he needed to adopt a more aggressive style to improve as a player.
Iginla is most effective when he has room to manoeuvre, and to create that space, he had to intimidate
his opponents.[99] The lessons Iginla learned have carried throughout his career. "You've got a power
forward who does it all," said Craig Conroy. "I mean, he'll fight, and hit, and score goals. Maybe it's not
the end-to-end rushes, but he does all those little things that win games and get things done."[100] His
opponents also respect his play. Rob Blake said that while Iginla is not known for fancy play, "he'll run

the face-off circle, as a linesman prepares to
drop the puck.

you over. Or he'll fight somebody. And then he'll score a goal. He does pretty much everything you'd want a guy to do."[97]
Iginla has recorded several Gordie Howe hat tricks. a fight, a goal and an assist in the same game and as it is not an official statistic, The Hockey
News estimated that as of 2012, he was the active leader with nine.[101] His fights, including one with Tampa Bay Lightning star Vincent Lecavalier in
the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals, have had a motivating effect on his play and that of his teammates.[102] Iginla has suffered injuries as a result of his
fighting, including a broken hand from a 2003 fight with Bill Guerin of the Dallas Stars.[103] His physical style of play also leads to a greater risk of
persistent injuries and penalties.[98]
He commands the respect of his peers, and has been known to stand up to the coaching staff to defend a fellow player. Former teammate and present
Edmonton Oilers captain Andrew Ference a former Bruins player himself, before Iginla's arrival on the Boston team's roster once described
following Iginla as like "following a friend."[97] Preferring to lead by example, Iginla is not regarded as a vocal captain. He likes to speak with players
individually, and tries to ensure that all of his teammates are comfortable.[29] He was named the recipient of the Mark Messier Leadership Award in
2009.[104]

Personal life
Iginla married his high school sweetheart, Kara, and the couple has three children: daughter Jade and sons Tij and Joe. They had been dating since
they were in the eighth grade.[4] He has two half-brothers, Jason and Stephen, and two half-sisters, Theresa and Elizabeth.[105] Theresa played for the
University of Saskatchewan Huskies women's hockey team for two seasons from 2003 to 2005. Jarome is an avid golfer and a regular participant in
the Calgary Flames Celebrity Charity Golf Classic.[4]
Iginla is well known for his kind-hearted nature. Former Flames General manager Craig Button described Iginla as being grounded: "He doesn't carry
himself with any attitude or arrogance. He's confident in his abilities. He's self-assured. He's genuine. He's a better person than he is a player, and we
all know what kind of player he is."[106] In 2002, while in Salt Lake City for the Winter Olympic Games, Iginla struck up a conversation with four
Calgarians sitting next to his table, and found out they were sleeping in their car outside of the hotel. He excused himself from the conversation, and
booked them accommodations at his own expense at the hotel his family was staying in.[107]
Since 2002,[108] he has operated the Jarome Iginla Hockey School in Calgary as a non-profit organization, donating proceeds to the Diabetes Research
Association.[4] In 2004, he was awarded the NHL Foundation Player Award for his community service and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in
recognition of his humanitarian contributions.[109] Iginla supports many charities. In 2000, he began donating $1,000 per goal he scored to KidSport, a
figure he doubled to $2,000 in 2005. Between 2000 and 2013, he donated more than $700,000 from this initiative.[110]
Iginla is a part owner of the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League, for whom he played during his junior hockey days.[111] He purchased a
minority share in the franchise, along with fellow NHL players Shane Doan, Mark Recchi and Darryl Sydor, in October 2007.[112] He is also an
ambassador with the NHL Diversity program, which supports youth hockey organizations that offer economically disadvantaged kids the opportunity
to play.[113] Since 2008, he has been a hockey spokesperson for Scotiabank, appearing in commercials and at events supporting its grassroots hockey
programs,[114] as well as for Samsung Canada.[115]
