And not only was he signing autographs for them, but he was asking them how they were doing in school and things of that kind of a nature. I was just amazed that on a night when the team was celebrating, Jarome still had time to stand in the rain and sign those autographs and ask questions of those young kids. I can remember that in my head as if it was yesterday.

Can confirm... I've posted this before but:
Flames Fan Fest in 1999/2000, had just moved here from Regina (hence the Pats t-shirt, which Derrick Morris loved), hadn't watched much NHL or Flames hockey but my dad figured this would be a good time. Went and met the entire team, couple players didn't really give us kids the time of the day (cough: Savard) but
Iggi asked us about playing hockey, school, our friends and posed for this awesome picture. He was the one of the most friendly people I had ever met. I was hooked. Favorite player, favorite team!
