Default Iggy moving back to Canada

https://www.rinkhockeyacademykelowna...-22-season/176



The RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna is proud to announce the hiring of former NHL veteran, Jarome Iginla. Jarome will be taking over the Head Coach position of the U15 Prep team for the 2021-2022 season.



Jarome has spent the past 4 years coaching minor hockey in Boston, Massachusetts, a hot bed for hockey in the north east of the United States. He has coached his sons, Tij and Joe’s respective minor hockey teams, and most recently helped bring the 2006 Boston Jr. Eagles from a 20th ranked team to #1 in the nation.

Good.

Boston never deserved Iggy, and I’m glad he’s back.

I feel like Iggy would be the perfect combination of a "player's coach" but also a guy who doesn't put up with ####.

GM Connie passing players to Head Coach Iggy, who then takes those players and scores us wins!


Edit: My God... I just imagined him lifting the Cup in front of us at the Dome as the Head Coach.

He is probably going to run a spectacular power play.

Would love to see him coach the Flames one day.

I can speak for his good coaching. I went to his hockey camp when I was 7. He gave me some good tips on how to pass tape to tape

So did I! One of my best memories is having Iggy come over to help me with my wrist shot when shooting against the side boards. And of course when he strapped on the pads for the end of camp scrimmage.

This may be cruel but just imagine Iggy on the right with Johnny and Monny. Then on the left circle on the powerplay.

"Local Boston Man"

If they only knew that up here, he's Royalty.

He's probably ready to coach the Flames now. How much worse he can be than GG and Wardo?

He must love coaching.

I coached my kiddos in little league but found that once my oldest reached 12, there was a need to have someone else in their ear.

This is the best news I've heard since Jan 20th! Huge gain for Kelowna. Welcome back to Canada, Iggy!

He coached his kids' teams. Guess he's looking to go from Hockey Dad into the player development game.

As much as his prodigious talents made him a superstar on the ice, he is also a good role model and positive thinking mentor. Which will serve him well in his new capacity.

Now make him Part-time BC amateur scout for the Flames? It's a start. Conny, work your charm!
