The Calgary Flames will be honouring one of its greatest all-time goaltenders, Miikka Kiprusoff, at a ceremony next year.
Kiprusoff's number 34 will be raised to the rafters at a retirement on March 2, ahead of the Flames' regular season game with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The goaltender played nine of his 12 NHL career years with the team and retired as the franchise leader in wins (305), shutouts (41), goals against average (2.46), save percentage (.913) and games played by a goaltender (576).
Kiprusoff is also the franchise leader in playoff shutouts (six) and is behind just Mike Vernon for playoff games played and won.
"I loved my time in Calgary," said Kiprusoff in a statement on Tuesday. "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 honour."
The Flames said the tribute to Kiprusoff is another block for the legacy of the Calgary Flames in the city.
