Jade Iginla scores first international goal to help Canada advance at U18 Worlds

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.
