It was a warm morning on August 11th, Jarome Iginla finally was making his return to the VHLM. The highly touted prospect is a native of Red Deer, Alberta, and he was finally coming back to make a name for himself. Before the game, he was greeted by many members of the Saskatoon Wild team, as well, the head GM Svodoba. Jarome was also greeted by many fans wanting autographs of the 19 year old, he said "this was such a surreal situation, I never expected this to happen again. I felt once my parents had deceased my whole life would be over"

 

With just 4 hours to gametime, Jarome ended up making a trip downtown to meet with the GMs of the Helsinki Titans. The Titans had serious interest in Jarome until he left, but they still managed to take him early, as he was drafted 15th overall in the S39 VHL Entry Draft. Jarome met with their GMs and they told him they were happy he came back, and they expect to see him in a Titans uniform in the near future. Jarome ended up saying "I don't know if I will ever be that good again, but thanks for taking the risk on me, and I will try my hardest to make it payoff"

 

Iginla played a total of 9 minutes that night, with no shots on goal, or hits recorded. He went 2/7 on the draws and really he felt was a shitty game. "This was expected, I haven't played a real game in 5 months. I need to start training hard again and get back into shape"
