For as long as Jade Iginla can remember, hockey has been a part of her life. The daughter of Kara and long-time NHLer, Olympic Gold Medalist, and Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee, Jarome Iginla, Jade has been witness to the hard work and dedication required to achieve hockey greatness. Her competitive spirit was nurtured in backyard games against her brothers, Tij and Joe, laying the foundation for her relentless pursuit of excellence.

With her developing leadership skills on-and-off the ice and her father to look up to as a role model, Jade seems destined to carve her own path as a rising star in the world of hockey.

Her international debut came with a gold medal win at the 2022 U18 Women’s World Championship, earning her an invite to the 2022 Women’s National Team Camp alongside some of her favourite Olympians.

The young forward’s rise through the ranks also caught the eye of Brown University’s coach, who recruited her for the NCAA Division 1 Hockey Team, where she will compete through 2026. 

Each personal and team victory has brought Jade one step closer to reaching her dream: competing for Team Canada at the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.
