CALGARY — The Calgary Flames will honour former captain Jarome Iginla by retiring his Number-12 jersey before their home game against the Minnesota Wild tonight.

Iginla’s Number 12 will hang on the rafters alongside Lanny McDonald’s Number 9 and Mike Vernon’s Number 30.

Calgary is on a season-high seven game win streak heading into the matchup.

Iginla played three seasons in the Western Hockey League and won two Memorial Cups with the Kamloops Blazers in 1994 and 1995.

That same 1995 year, he was picked in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.
