Despite not recording a point in a losing effort, Tij Iginla was the player of the game in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects game on Wednesday night.
The ΑπΑ§ΙρΙη Rockets forward was a bright spot for Team White in the contest in Moncton, Ont., on Wednesday, Jan. 24.
βIt wouldβve been nice to get the win but it was a fun game,β said Iginla after the game. βTons of good players out there, no weak-links out there so it was pretty cool to get out there with all the top guys in the CHL.β
