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 Kelowna Rockets forward was a bright spot for Team White in the contest in Moncton, Ont., on Wednesday, Jan. 24.
㽶ƵֱIt would㽶Ƶֱve been nice to get the win but it was a fun game,㽶Ƶֱ said Iginla after the game. 㽶ƵֱTons 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.㽶Ƶֱ
