Flames always are generous with the time to be in the seats for anything “special” prior to the game. I’d expect anything worth watching won’t start for 645 at least.
Video tribute of a few minutes. A Peter Maher monologue and introduction of his family. Ken King monologue on behalf of Flames, Conny monologue on behalf of teammates.
Video for 5 minutes of teammates and players and coaches from around the league for 5 minutes. Another longer video tribute. Then Iginla intro and speech for 10 minutes. Flames, NHL, teammates, alumni, boyscouts, Brownies, NDP,UCP,Libs, Nenshi, 34th Regiment and any other group, presents him with gifts for 10 minutes. Jersey goes up for 5 minutes...that should about cover it.
Nieuwendyks Forever a Flame lasted about 5-10 min too long and this will be longer than that. For good reason, but it kind of gets tedious by the end with all the formalities.
