I've removed the puzzling reference to Iginla being a favourite for the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2002 -- the Flames didn't make the playoffs and so any reference to the Conn Smythe is irrelevant. Perhaps the originating author meant another trophy (Hart? I don't remembember...) cucumberslumber 23:41, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I would want to do some (unoriginal) research before putting this in the main article— but I think Iginla is the first Black to win a gold medal in the Olympic Winter Games, when he led the Canadian team in 2002. There have been some noteable figure and speed skaters of color, but I think he was the first to win the gold. The article for Shani Davis, the American speed skater, says Davis was the first Black to win an individual gold medal in 2006, and the fifth to win any medal.

So I happen to have a book that mentions Iginla losing the Hart in 2002. I'll let Resolute add it however he sees fit, but I'll give the details and source here:
The book information:

I believe Iginla's hat-trick was taken away, vs Norway. GoodDay (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Iginla did not win the Art Ross in 2002. As a matter of fact, he's never won an Art Ross Trophy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.51.17 (talk) 17:30, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
suggestion for when describing Iginla's feats (milestones), we try to keep consistant details to describe the event, example if so and so scored his which ever milestone goal, we add who against (team goalie), result of game. -Samcat — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsamcat (talk • contribs) 08:27, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Now that Iginla has been traded to the Penguins, a few lines need to be altered. For example, in the third paragraph, it states that "He was selected 11th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, but was later traded to Calgary and has played his entire professional career with the Flames." This should be changed to, for example, "He was selected 11th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, but was later traded to Calgary where he played the first 17 seasons of his career." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Boutros (talk • contribs) 17:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Why is the sentence about Iginla moving to the Pens better suited to Milestones than NHL career, where it was originally added? All the milestones are about stats. Platypusjones (talk) 17:57, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
It's all part of the chronological order, both Captaincy and Milestones are subdivisions of the NHL career section. For instance the first line of the "Milestones" section states "The Flames struggled in 2009–10, failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2003" which has nothing to do with a Milestone. The last year discussed before the subdivision sections in NHL Career is 2002-03. Eventually a subsection called Pittsburgh Penguins or Post-Flames (depending on what happens after this season) will probably be added. One sentence does not need it's own section.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 18:57, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
this whole article seems pretty biased to the point of being written by unabashed fans, hopefully in the trade section some mention is made of the controversy and the fact that there are questions of where the dishonesty took place and by whom — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.17.191.117 (talk) 05:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
also, there at least appears to be some that think that tampering is a possibility to consider, read this article about Don Cherry's comments... http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2013/03/30/sp-nhl-coachs-corner-hockey-night.html
