Note: Jets veterans and prospects were both on the ice Thursday at Hockey For All Centre ahead of training camp, with Adam Lowry and Nino Niederreiter joining the main veteran group. We also tracked the prospect power-play units and lines before the group heads to Quebec for the Prospect Challenge. Get caught up here.
Note II: Speaking of the Prospect Challenge that gets going this afternoon when the Jets young guns take on the Habs young guns. Puck drop is at 1 PM ET and you can watch the game on the Jets website.
Note III: We kick off our 18th season of Illegal Curve Hockey with the Season Premiere show, which gets underway at 9 AM CT. We’ll get you caught up on the latest from Jets informal skates, the prospects heading to Quebec, Connor Hellebuyck’s trade request and more. Danielle Bain of TSN joins us to talk Jets. Be part of the conversation here.
Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: ‘Sky’s the limit’: Viggomania in full flight. While everyone is caught up in Viggomania, it’s worth remembering that he’s still technically a high school kid. There is plenty of excitement around him, but also a need to keep expectations in check as he continues to develop.

Winnipeg Free Press: Bjorck ready to rock Prospect Challenge. (Paywall). We’ve seen him dazzle against NHL talent here in Winnipeg the last week so it will be interesting to see what he does against his peers.
Sportsnet: Best, worst scenarios for every Central Division team. Will be really interesting to see how the situation with 37 plays out.
Sportsnet: Biggest burning questions heading into training camps. No surprise that the question involves the Jets and whether or not Connor Hellebuyck will show up at some point for camp.
