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

Iginla was recently ranked the 11th best skater in North America by NHL Central Scouting.

He is expected to be back in the Rockets lineup on Friday night (Jan. 26) when Kelowna welcomes the Kamloops Blazers to town. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m.
