“Today we are proud to build on the Flames legacy by paying tribute to one of the all-time greats in Flames history. On behalf of the Flames ownership and the organization, we congratulate Miikka on an amazing career and this well-earned and rare achievement,” Flames general manager Craig Conroy, who played with Kiprusoff in Calgary, said Tuesday.

The six-foot-one goaltender made his NHL debut with the Sharks during the 2000–01 season and spent parts of four seasons in the Bay Area before being traded to the Flames on November 16, 2003. “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 9 years. I would like to thank the Flames ownership, the organization, and the fans for my time in Calgary and for this tremendous honour.”
