Getting Iggy with it!!
Tij Iginla is not a high-maintenance player.
The newest member of the Kelowna Rockets has only one request for his new team after being acquired from the Seattle Thunderbirds on Wednesday.
“Hopefully I can wear jersey No. 11″, Iginla said with anticipation in his voice. “That has been my number growing up. I was No. 12, my dad’s number, until I was seven, and then some other kid took it”, he said with a chuckle.
That wish may be easily granted by equipment manager Tim Webster, with the graduation of 20-year-old Carson Golder, who last season wore #11.
