Former NHL goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff will see his number raised to the rafters of the Scotiabank Saddledome when the Calgary Flames retire his No. 34 in a ceremony March 2, the team announced Tuesday.
"I loved my time in Calgary," Kiprusoff said. "The fans are amazing, and it's a wonderful place to live and play. Hockey really means something here, and I was proud to wear the Flaming C and call Calgary my home for nine years.
"I would like to thank the Flames ownership, the organization, and the fans for my time in Calgary and for this tremendous honor."
Kiprusoff played for the Flames from 2003 up until his retirement in 2013. He's the franchise leader in games played by a netminder (576), wins (305), shutouts (41), save percentage (.913), and goals against average (2.46).
