Iginla has surely seen his fair share of snow after growing up in Edmonton and spending the majority of his NHL career with the Calgary Flames.

"I like the snow, I like the winter, but not necessarily this," Iginla said, according to Boston 25 News' Litsa Pappas. "May be a little too much."
The two-time Olympic gold medalist also shared his thoughts on driving in such conditions.
"Pretty tough, we're from Canada, so it's not too crazy," he said. "I mean, we got some winter tires. Used to this growing up so, it's not great, I'll tell you, you get some tough stretches. But if you don't go too fast, it's doable."
Iginla played one season with the Boston Bruins and decided to call the city home after he retired in 2018.
