With Jarome Iginla officially retiring on Monday, social media was a-buzz with well-wishes for the iconic forward:
On and off the ice, Iggy was a true leader that has so much love and respect for the game. I’m so lucky to have had the chance to play with him, and get to know him. Congrats to Iggy and his family on the journey through his incredible hall of fame career! #ThankYouIggypic.twitter.com/sz8jLiOOcm
Chief Chaffin always watches the @NHLFlames, keeping an eye out for the 'Hardest Working Flame'. Today we recognize Jarome Iginla as he announces his retirement from an incredible career in the @NHL. A true community hero! #ThankYouIggy#yycpic.twitter.com/ucNwtcAr8y
As a journalism student, I was on a job shadow in the Flames dressing room. Jarome Iginla noticed I was new to the scrum and made a point of introducing himself, wishing me well in my career. Years later, he still remembered me. Best wishes in your retirement! #ThankYouIggy
The ultimate hockey player - fight, hit, score goals, dish the puck, carry the team and inspire the city. As a kid growing up watching Iggy, he was the best role model of the athlete I wanted to be.#ThankYouIggyhttps://t.co/iEBOYqdUi3
Jarome Iginla is a class act: He always had time. Always treated others with respect. Stuck up for his teammates and stood for what he believed in. I'm glad he's coming back to retire in Calgary. It's only right. #ThankYouIggypic.twitter.com/VwuM6ulrQV
