Meet the Iginlas (Athletic - paywall article)
... specifically Jade, Tij and Joe Iginla. And their dad, a Boston-area man who was famous for being on TV one time during the evening news.
Quote:
Now, their children are starting to find their place in the world. Jade, 17, will play college hockey next season for the Brown University women’s hockey program. Tij, 15, will play next season for the Seattle Thunderbirds after being the franchise’s first-round pick in the WHL Bantam Draft. And the youngest, Joe, 13, looks to follow the same course as his older brother.
They are deeply aware of their famous last name and the expectations that come with being the children of a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee. But the thing to understand about Jade, Tij and Joe is that they are their own people — which is exactly how Jarome and Kara raised them.
And furthermore? They wouldn’t want it any other way.
|
The article goes on to talk about Jade, Tij and Joe and where they are at in their hockey journey, of course supported by their mom and dad.
Wanted to share this gem though:
Quote:
|
The third Iginla child got the name Joe because that was his father’s childhood nickname. Jarome said they chose to give their children “simpler first names” because he could remember the times when “saying Iginla seemed like a mouthful for others.” But while they kept Joe’s first name simple, Jarome and Kara gave him the same middle names as his father: Elvis Adekunle Junior.

Sign the whole family! Jarome can have an advisory role in the front office with Conny.

And put Kara in charge of getting the arena built. She's a lady that knows how to get stuff done.

Jarome was pumping gas when a reporter approached him and asked if she could interview him about the snowstorm. He agreed because he did not want to be rude to a reporter who was also out in the storm doing her job.
|
Because of course he would. Running late, brutal snowstorm, still have to be polite.

Jade Iginla will not be playing in the women's under 18 as she received an upper body injury in a pre game with the USA. Too bad, I was looking forward to her debute with Canada.
