Jade Iginla has officially arrived on the world stage.
After sitting out of Team Canada’s first three games at the 2022 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship with an upper-body injury, Iginla scored her first goal of the tournament on Sunday to help lift her team to a 2–1 win over Team Finland.
Iginla, 17, circled the offensive zone and split a couple of Finnish defenders at the top of the right faceoff circle before firing a heavy wrist shot past goaltender Emilia Kyrkko to give Team Canada a 1–0 lead with 4:56 to play in the first period.
