The Calgary Flames announced today the retirement of Miikka Kiprusoff's number 34. The ceremony and celebration to raise Kiprusoff's number 34 to the rafters at the Scotiabank Saddledome will take place on Saturday, March 2nd when the Flames play host to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"Today we are proud to build on the Flames legacy by paying tribute to one of the all-time greats in Flames history. On behalf of the Flames ownership and the organization, we congratulate Miikka on an amazing career and this well-earned and rare achievement," said Flames General Manager Craig Conroy. "We are thrilled to have his number 34 deservingly displayed at the Scotiabank Saddledome so Flames fans can celebrate his contributions for years to come. And for me, personally, it was a privilege to have been his teammate. Under that mask was a fierce competitor who gave us the confidence and an opportunity to win every night. Thank you and congratulations Kipper."
"I loved my time in Calgary," said Kiprusoff. "The fans are amazing and it's a wonderful place to live and play. Hockey really means something here and I was proud to wear the Flaming C and call Calgary my home for 9 years. I would like to thank the Flames ownership, the organization, and the fans for my time in Calgary and for this tremendous honour."

Kipper was the kinda guy that didn't let his emotions get the better of him. Maybe some players could learn a thing or two from the man.

Doesn't say Forever a Flame in the news link anyway. But congrats Kipper! Well deserved. The Flames have been looking for a 'next Kipper' since he retired.

"RICHARDS!" They should have Mike Richards do the ceremony haha
Agreed one of the best Flames ever. So great, that he completely ruined me for my goalie expectations in the crease forever.
