Gio never summered in Calgary either. Not sure what your point is. That he is going to now?
Iggy summered in Kelowna, not Boston or LA or Florida or anywhere else. How many Calgarians summer in Kelowna or other interior BC locations? Nevermind the fact that many other NHLers also summer in Kelowna where they off season train together.
Lots of players don't summer in their NHL city even after they retire to live in that city.
Iginla lived here for nearly 2 decades. His mother moved here and still does despite her family being mostly back in St. Albert and he son and grandchildren now live across the continent.
Gio isn't in a position of fans and media writing articles about him being traded to a contender, giving him a change in his career and life moving across the continent bringing new experiences.
Frankly your post just reeks of a backhanded slag on Iginla because you feel he turned his back on the city after he was traded and how much better a person Gio is.
