A bunch of fans went out and waited for the players to exit at the East Players Parking lot hoping to get an autographed, kids and adults, after the game.
The bus carrying the Tampa team whizzed past the fans. Multiple Flames players came after and NO ONE stopped! The last car that came out was Iggy and his wife. He stopped, rolled down his windows, said hi to fans and got out of his car! He did not stopped signing autographs until everyone had one and had the patented Iggy smile the whole time!
He became my favorite Flame from that day on!
Very classy, very accommodating and very much deserving his jersey retired forever!

Yup!!
Was out there a multiple nights after games between 2003-2007 and lots of players never stopped or were rude/short with people but every single time Iginla would stop, chat with people, park and hop out for photos and announce to everyone to make sure they got a signature before leaving. He would thanks the fans for waiting for him!
100% class act all the way. The best.
