It was a busy week at Jets Development Camp and while what happens on the ice over five days isn’t likely to change the organization’s evaluation of its prospects, Friday’s scrimmage provided the first opportunity for fans and media to get an up-close look at the newest members of the pipeline.
Today’s scrimmage featured a mix of 5-on-5, 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 action, giving the prospects one final chance to showcase their skills before heading home for the summer. After each period they would conclude with a shootout.
5-on-5:
The scrimmage began with Brayden Yager winning a faceoff against Moose teammate Jacob Julien. He won it back to Swedish duo Lukas Gustafsson (he’s a halfer) and Sascha Boumedienne.

Only player to score during the shootout following 5 on 5 was prospect Zach Nehring (2023 3rd) who wins it for Team Blue with this nifty move.

Worth noting that defenceman Garrett Brown (2022 4th) left the ice late in the scrimmage after he appeared to tweak something.
Following the scrimmage, the players gathered for a team photo before taking time to sign autographs, pose for pictures with fans and conduct their final media interviews prior to heading home for the summer.
