He is the son of Calgary Flames legend and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Jarome Iginla.
[1] Entering the 2023–24 season, Iginla was not recognized as a top-level prospect for the upcoming 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
He began the year with a "B" rating from NHL Central Scouting, indicating a projected second- or third-round pick, but after a torrid start to the season that saw him score 13 goals and 21 points in his first 12 games, he was upgraded to an "A" prospect, a likely first-round selection.
[10] Considered a likely selection high in the first round of the 2024 NHL entry draft, Iginla was taken sixth overall by the Utah Hockey Club.
"[11] On July 11, 2024, Iginla signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Utah Hockey Club.
