Back in 1998 the Summer Hockey I was on played in a tournament in Edmonton. We went to the old spaghetti factory and one of our coaches saw Jarome Iginla in the restaurant and asked him to come over and say a few inspiring words to our team.
Iginla was very gracious and came over and addressed our team and was really nice.
As he finished his speech a few dinks on my team started chirping him saying "Iginla who?" and "Flames suck".
Felt kinda bad, but Iggy took it in stride. This was before he became a big star.
