""Yeah, he's a great player, super, super crafty, super skilled, thinks the game so smart," Iginla told RMNB's Katie Adler. "I think he's going to do really well and be a good player, so I'm hoping for him here with the Capitals camp starting up.""
""I saw him on the ice there," Iginla said. "I bumped into him at the airport coming in, actually. So that was nice.""
Andrew Cristall, 20, will make his professional debut this season with the exact league yet to be determined. Tij Iginla, a Washington Capitals prospect and former Kelowna Rockets teammate, praised Cristall as crafty, skilled, and smart on the ice and expressed hope Cristall earns a spot at Capitals camp. The two reconnected at MedStar Capitals Iceplex and briefly at the airport. Cristall and Iginla served as alternate captains in Kelowna and combined frequently on the top line. Cristall recorded 171 points in 90 games; Iginla tallied 116 points in 85 games. Iginla was drafted sixth overall by Utah and is returning from double hip surgery, aiming for the Mammoth roster out of training camp.
