Tij Iginla's Disappointment Over Utah Draft Pick Revealed
Tij Iginla was drafted 6th overall by the Utah Hockey Club in this year's 2024 NHL Draft, and while he might wish he was picked 9th by the Calgary Flames like his Hall of Fame dad, Jarome Iginla, they're thrilled to have him.
Yet Tij may not feel the same way at least for now. A fan interaction revealed Iginla's heart is still in Calgary and he truly wanted to be a Flame, not a member of Utah.
Tij Iginla reportedly upset the Utah Hockey Club drafted him 6th overall
It means Utah fans need to make Tij feel at home whether it's in a preseason game or his NHL debut. Now that's his entry level contract has been signed and he's the organization's maiden draft pick, royal treatment is required from the crowd. They must embrace him from first sight in an effort to turn his frown upside down.

Last season, Tij, scored 47 goals and had 84 points in 64 regular-season games for the WHL's Kelowna Rockets plus 15 points in 11 playoff games.
Absolutely love how Tij Iginla gets lost in this play.
Create timing, space and separation. Tij to a tee.

He also won gold with Hockey Canada at the U18 World Championship, with six goals and a dozen points in six games.
Starting his career in Utah gives him the perfect pressure-free environment to thrive and develop. The goal should be to make him want to call the place home for the long run. If not, he will be flaming for Calgary before you know it.
