Jaroma Iginla will have to wait a little longer before he is officially inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Originally scheduled for November 16 in Toronto, the Class of 2020 induction ceremony has been postponed because of COVID-19.

“Since the magic of the induction from the honoured members’ perspective is experiencing several days of close interaction with family, friends, former teammates and fans, the board ruled out any means of holding the 2020 inductions virtually,” Hall of Fame Chairman Lanny McDonald said in a press release.

Along with Iginla, who played three seasons with the Kamloops Blazers, a team he now co-owns, the Class of 2020 comprises of Marian Hossa, Kevin Lowe, Doug Wilson, and Kim St. Pierre in the players’s category and Ken Holland in the builder’s category.

“While it’s possible the class of 2020 could be inducted on alternative dates during the modified 2020-21 NHL season, the most likely scenario is to postpone [it] to November 2021, either by waiving the 2021 elections or in combination with the 2021 induction class involving adjusted category limits,” McDonald added.

The rescheduling plans for the induction ceremony will be addressed at the Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors meeting on October 29.
