Flames icon Jarome Iginla headlines Hockey Hall of Fame's 2020 class

TORONTO — Jarome Iginla will headline the Hockey Hall of Fame's class of 2020.

The Calgary Flames icon and former captain was in his first year of eligibility following a standout career that spanned from 1996 through 2017.

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marian Hossa will join Iginla in the players' category along with a pair of defencemen who have waited a long time to hear their names called — Kevin Lowe and Doug Wilson — and Canadian women's national team goalie Kim St-Pierre.

Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland, meanwhile, will go into the hall as a builder, rounding out the 2020 class unveiled Wednesday in Toronto following a vote by the hall's 18-member selection committee.
