First hockey game I took my son too, we were visiting Denver. During warmups, Iginla skated over and smiled to him and asked me if he could give him a puck.
I know lots of players do this, but I don't know how many of the "greats" do it. In any case, it made a big impression on both of us. Jarome may not have been a perfect player but he represented himself and this team with class. And his stats speak for themselves. First ballot HOFer.
