Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2021: Recap, Speech Highlights for Jarome Iginla, More

The Hockey Hall of Fame officially welcomed six new members.

As with other sports, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Hall officials to delay the 2020 ceremony, thus making the inductees wait an extra year for the opportunity to take center stage in Toronto.

Jarome Iginla brought the proceedings to a close.

The four-time All-Star is tied for 16th all time in goals (625) and owns almost every major offensive record in Calgary Flames history.

Beyond the stats he piled up on the ice, Iginla served as an inspiration for younger generations of Black players, much as his predecessors did for him.
