It was more of the same today at hockey for all centre on day 2 of Jets training camp as players continued to practice drills designed to reinforce the defensive mindset that has worked so well for this team the last few seasons. Everyone who skated yesterday was skating today. Captain Adam Lowry continues to skate on his own as he rehabs following offseason hip surgery.
