Triumphant Return to Calgary Marks Kiprusoff's Enduring Impact
Miikka Kiprusoff, the beloved Finnish goaltender who led the Calgary Flames to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 15 years, is set to return to the city where he made his mark. On March 1, 2024, the Flames will honor Kiprusoff with a special ceremony before their game against the Montreal Canadiens. The event will mark the culmination of a remarkable journey that began in Finland and ended in Calgary, a city that Kiprusoff now calls home.
With 319 NHL wins, Kiprusoff is the winningest Finnish goaltender in league history.

The upcoming ceremony will provide an opportunity for fans to celebrate Kiprusoff's achievements and express their gratitude for the memories he created. It will also be a chance for Kiprusoff to reflect on his career and the impact he had on the city of Calgary. The event promises to be an emotional and unforgettable tribute to one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history.
