Jade Iginla

Hockey has been a constant in Jade Iginla’s life, growing up in a family where the sport was always front and center. The daughter of NHL legend and Olympic Gold Medalist Jarome Iginla, Jade witnessed firsthand the dedication and hard work required to reach the highest levels of the game. From backyard games with her brothers, Tij and Joe, to learning from her father’s leadership, Jade developed a fierce competitive spirit and an unshakable drive to succeed.

Her breakthrough came at the 2022 U18 Women’s World Championship, where she helped Team Canada claim gold, a victory that earned her an invite to the 2022 Women’s National Team Camp. Jade’s skill and potential quickly caught the attention of NCAA Division 1 hockey programs, leading to her recruitment by Brown University, where she will compete through 2026.

As a sophomore during the 2023–24 season, Jade had a breakout year, recording 16 goals and 27 points. Her standout season earned her Second Team All-Ivy League honours. In June 2026, Jade was selected by PWHL Hamilton in the second round (18th overall) of the 2026 PWHL Draft, marking the beginning of her professional career.
