Have confirmed with @Sportsnet that they'll be airing the Jarome Iginla retirement ceremony in its entirety live on Sportsnet West on March 2.

Just SNW? This a National game.

Just ridiculous by SN not to have it on another channel that won't be blacked out. SN is the worst, I can't wait for their contract to run out.

Well, they are not always blacked-out, so hopefully we get it out of market.
People who pine for a change with a new broadcaster I think are fooling themselves. If TSN gets the new contract the coverage is likely not to change significantly.

^ Exactly. TSN has 5 channels now too. You'd have the same national/regional broadcasts.
They'd just look / sound better.

You are, frankly, making a terribly dumb assumption. The game itself is a national broadcast. There is absolutely no reason to expect that the pre-game ceremony will be blacked out.
Hell, even if it was just a regional broadcast, there is nothing that would prevent Sportsnet from airing the ceremonly nationally on SNW.

It's a national game but it's a double header. Sportsnet already struggles with showing the start of the Flames game if we're the 2nd one. So nationally the ceremony won't be shown, perhaps bits and pieces maybe, but they've decided to show the ceremony in its entirety for the Flames region.
Certainly not ideal but when the schedule was made Sportsnet didn't know a random date vs the Wild would end up being so special. It's a fair compromise.
Ideally the Flames will stream the thing on their social media, or find an illegal stream night of, not that difficult.

You can buy a non-blacked out Sportsnet Now package for $27 vs $19.99 regional/National only games.
Or you can stand on principle and miss the ceremony.

Damn. Had tickets, set my work schedule up so I'd be home that week, bought an Iginla jersey just for this game, and now just heard I'll have an emergency job in Slave Lake I need to go to this week that will last until the 15th.
Pretty annoyed right now

As other retirement things go, the team will wear Iginla jerseys in warmup most certainly. A cool twist would be to be wearing all the jerseys he wore.
Pedestal home 24
Pedestal away 24
Pedestal home 12
Pedestal away 12
Horsehead black
2001 white
2004 red
2007 red

I’m not gonna lie, if I’m not a Flames fan I’d have no desire to watch Iginla’s full retirement ceremony. The highlights is all I’d want to see. Seems like the right choice to me, air the whole thing for the regional audience, the National audience can see the highlights. Seems perfect t to me.
