Mammoth's Tij Iginla: Practicing without limitations
Rotowire
Iginla (hip) is participating in the Mammoth's development camp without limitations, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports Tuesday.
Iginla was expected to be cleared about a month into the 2025 postseason, and it seems like that is the case. The 18-year-old center could be in the mix for a roster spot during training camp, but he's far from a lock for the Opening Night roster. One option for Iginla would be to play up to the nine-game limit before he is returned to WHL Kelowna for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

Mammoth's Tij Iginla: Making progress
Rotowire
Iginla (hip) could be cleared for contact in about a month, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Sunday.
Iginla appeared in only 21 regular-season games for WHL Kelowna in 2024-25 while notching 14 goals and 32 points. He had surgery on his right hip in December and underwent a procedure on his left hip in January. Iginla will participate in Utah's development camp, which runs from June 29 to July 3, but it will probably be in a limited capacity. However, he could be ready to go all out at training camp in the fall.

Hockey Club's Tij Iginla: Undergoes season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Iginla underwent hip surgery Wednesday and will be out for the rest of WHL Kelowna's season.
Iginla had 14 goals and 32 points over 21 contests prior to the surgery. Losing over half of a season of development time will likely lead to Iginla playing most of 2025-26 in the junior ranks as well, especially since he will be 19 years old for that entire season. His status will likely be updated during Utah's training camp in September.

Hockey Club's Tij Iginla: Returning to juniors
Rotowire
Iginla was reassigned to WHL Kelowna on Wednesday.
Iginla will have to wait until the end of the season for a chance to make his NHL debut after being sent back to his junior club. Last year, the 2024 sixth-overall pick racked up an impressive 47 goals and 37 assists in 64 outings with the Rockets and should be in line to improve upon those numbers during the upcoming season. If he performs well, Iginla could link up with Utah in the closing days of the 2024-25 season.
