I remember in 2002 being in Calgary when Iginla was a couple game hold out. Rumours was swirling Iginla had signed. Two buddies and I skipped the rest of our classes that afternoon and bolted down to the Saddledome. We someone got into the press conference after the guy at the door said "Should you be here" and when I answered yes my sheepish buddy said "No.." . The guy let us in anyways and we found ourselves next to Bob Boughner and Conroy. It was surreal for a 19 year old new to Calgary.
During the conference Iginla thanked guys like Conroy and Conroy being Conroy shook a fake tree to get everyone's attention. Meet Iginla after and he was just all class.
Good luck Iginla, hope you get that cup.
