On Monday, Jarome Iginla officially announced his retirement from the NHL in Calgary.

A number of his former teammates were on hand for the ceremony including Craig Conroy, who was on a line with Iginla and is currently the assistant general manager of the Flames.

Before Iginla spoke, Conroy said a few words about Iggy and tossed a couple of chirps his was. As humble as Iginla is, he responded during his speech and it was hilarious.

Iginla to Conroy: "You were better than I thought you were going to be on the first day."

Iginla and Conroy had everyone in attendance laughing with their chirps and moments like that are what we'll miss now that Iginla has officially retired.
