Note: The Jets were off on Friday but will be back on the ice on today which will see both a non-game group and game group hit the ice, with the latter getting ready to take on the Oilers later tonight at 7 PM. Here was the list of the game group. The team will unveil the Dale Hawerchuk statute prior to the game which opens to fans at 4:30 PM with the ceremony taking place at 5:15 PM and lasting roughly 30 minutes.
Note II: There is some thought that the Jets are likely to make a big training camp reduction so stay tuned for that.
Note III: Reminder that you should plan to join us today at 9 AM for two hours of Jets talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show.
