Four years after being named a Hall of Famer himself, Jarome Iginla will now be part of the selection committee deciding who else gets in.
The Calgary Flames’ all-time leader in goals, points and games played — among many other things — was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee on Tuesday morning alongside Ed Olczyk.
Iginla, who played 15 seasons with the Flames and was named to the NHL First All-Star Team three times, recorded 1,300 points in 1,554 regular season games over a 20-year NHL career and represented Team Canada at three Olympic Games, winning gold medals in 2002 and 2010.
He is currently serving as a special advisor to Flames GM Craig Conroy. He’ll join the selection committee starting with the 2025 nomination and election proceedings, which begin in late June of next year.
Iginla and Olczyk will be replacing David Branch and Mike Gartner on the committee, both of whom had served their full-term limit of 15 years.
