Default St. Albert arena to be renamed after Jarome Iginla

https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/st-alber...inla-1.4104381

Quote:
A St. Albert ice arena is skating towards a name change in honour of a hometown hockey hero.

Earlier this week Councillor Jacquie Hansen proposed to rename Akinsdale Arena after NHL great Jarome Iginla, with the motion being passed unanimously by city council.

Hansen says she got the idea from a constituent who penned a letter to the editor to a local newspaper, which inspired her to make the change.

It's going to be tough to fit Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla on the marquee.

"JALATJEI" would be a good name for a between-periods frozen dessert treat though. A gelato-based smoothie of some sort?

Or maybe "JALATJEI" is some sort of Brazilian Martial Art involving bouncing a ball off of a big wall.

Only the arena? They should rename the city to St. Jarome.

Neat, but screw off Edmonton. He’s ours.

Is there literally anything these guys don’t ruin?

Didn't Mark Messier and Troy Murray each get hit up for money after having St. Albert arenas named after them? I recall something along those lines.

Iggy deserves it! Super cool!

(Now if they could only do something about renaming that cesspool just to the southeast of St. Albert...)

I think it’s funnier it’s in Edmonton. Could you imagine having the Connor McDavid arena in Calgary? This will surely ruffle a few Oiler fan feathers.

This arena is right beside the house my wife and I bought. Very excited. To anyone panning this place as edmonton- visit it. The locals have as much disdain for greater Edmonton that you do... plus all of the streets are named in the same convention as Calgary boroughs
Love you iggy.
