He was a longtime member and former captain of the Calgary Flames and also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins before joining the Avalanche in 2014.
Bleacher Report NHL congratulated the 38-year-old Iginla, who scored 525 goals in 16 seasons with the Calgary Flames, along with 35 for the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins, before arriving in Colorado.
After participating in Canada’s Olympic summer camp before the season, Iginla again set new personal highs in 2001–02 when he registered 52 goals and 96 points. This season elevated Iginla to superstar status. He earned the Art Ross and Maurice Richard trophies as the NHL’s leading point and goal scorer, respectively. He was also awarded the Lester B. Pearson Award as the league’s most valuable player as voted by his peers, and was a nominee for both the Hart Memorial Trophy and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy.
The Hart Trophy voting proved to be controversial: Iginla tied Canadiens goaltender José Théodore in voting points, but received fewer first place votes than Théodore. However, one voter, rumoured to be from Quebec—Théodore and the Canadiens’ home province—inexplicably left Iginla off his ballot. As a result of the controversy that followed, the Professional Hockey Writers Association changed the rules on how its members voted for the award to prevent a recurrence.
His stardom was elevated to another level during the 2003-04 season when he scored 13 goals in the playoffs and took the Flames to the Stanley Cup, although they were defeated by the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games. He has scored 37 career postseason goals, including five during the 2013-14 playoffs with the Bruins.
