Sensational Jarome Iginla

Fans, media, and NHL players alike have acclaimed Jarome Iginla worldwide, but his rise to greatness was slow and methodical, not meteoric. This lively biography covers his life and career, from the low moments to the high points. The latter include the moment he scored the crucial goals that helped Canada beat the U.S. in the Olympics; being named the Lester B. Pearson Award winner; and his status as hockey’s most appealing ambassador. Iginla was named captain of the Calgary Flames in 2003, making him only the second player of African descent to be named captain of an NHL team. Author Peter Bailey’s lively style captures Iginla as both a charming, unpretentious man as well as a master player.
