Jarome Iginla's daughter Jade arrives on international hockey stage

Another "Iggy" has landed on the international hockey scene.

Jade Iginla, daughter of Hockey Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla, is among the 23 women representing Canada at the world under-18 championship starting Monday in Madison and Middleton, Wis.

She and the majority of her teammates — born in 2004 and 2005 — were named to the Canadian roster a second time.

When the tournament initially scheduled for Jan. 8-15 in Sweden was abruptly called off two weeks before puck drop because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Canada announced a roster on Jan. 20 in recognition of players' efforts to make that team.

After a five-day reselection camp in Calgary in May, Canada opens the rescheduled tournament Monday against Finland in Madison.

Aware her Canadian counterparts born in 2003 couldn't play in a world under-18 championship at all — the pandemic also wiped out the 2021 tournament — Iginla appreciates wearing the Maple Leaf for the first time in her career.

"I think the first two words that come to mind are gratitude and pride," Iginla told The Canadian Press.

University of Alberta Pandas head coach Howie Draper returns to the bench after navigating the under-18 women to gold in 2019 and silver in 2020.

Iginla, the oldest child of Jarome and Kara, compiled 18 goals and 10 assists in 22 games for Hockey Academy Kelowna's under-18 team this past season. She's committed to play for Brown University next season.

Younger brothers Tij and Joe also play hockey. Tij was drafted ninth overall by the Western Hockey League's Seattle Thunderbirds in 2021.

Jarome played the majority of his 1,554 NHL games for the Calgary Flames. He holds the franchise record in goals and points.

He famously assisted on Sidney Crosby's overtime goal to win
