There's another change in the Calgary Flames' front office as the team announced it is welcoming back Jarome Iginla.
The 45-year-old won't be strapping on the skates, instead opting for a suit and tie to take on the role of special advisor to the general manager.
The team says Iginla will "provide support in all areas of hockey operations."
"Dating as far back as our playing days with the Flames, Jarome and I have always talked about one day working together in the NHL," said general manager Craig Conroy in a statement.
"That day has finally come and I'm happy to welcome him back to Calgary."
Conroy continued by saying he and Iginla "often challenged each other on systems and playing style."
"I look forward to our team benefiting from his fierce competitiveness, career experiences and love of hockey."
