Report: Iginla still on Canada's Olympic radar

Jarome Iginla could still don the red and white one last time.

The unrestricted free agent forward was not named to Canada's roster for the Karjala Cup - a pre-Olympic showcase in Finland next month - but could still represent his home country at the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea, according to Frank Seravalli of TSN.

Seravalli writes:

Iginla, who captured two Olympic gold medals for Team Canada, recently underwent a minor procedure to clean out loose particles in his hip.

It is unclear whether Iginla, now 40, will be invited or has interest in the next step of the evaluation process, which is the Channel One Cup in Moscow from Dec. 12-17.

Team Canada general manager Sean Burke confirmed this past summer that he reached out to Iginla about the possibility of participating if he failed to sign with an NHL club.

The 40-year-old winger recorded 14 goals and 13 assists in 80 games with Colorado and Los Angeles last season.
