Note: Before Day 2 of Jets training camp gets underway, catch up on all the news, line combinations, injury updates and player/coach media here from the opening day at Hockey for All Centre.
Note II: We did a lot of media availabilities on Day 1. We spoke with GM Kevin Cheveldayoff (watch here), Kyle Connor (watch here), Mark Scheifele (watch here), Coach Scott Arniel (watch here), Gabriel Vilardi (watch here) and Isak Rosén (watch here) on Day 1 of Jets training camp.
Note III: Camp continues today with Team B hitting the ice at 10 a.m. CT, followed by Team A at 1 p.m. CT. All media availabilities can be watched here or on our YouTube channel.
Note IV: Jets prospect Samuel Hrenák opened his USHL season in style, making 22 saves on 23 shots as the Fargo Force earned a 2-1 win over Green Bay. The 2026 third-round pick begins the year with a 1.00 GAA and .957 save percentage.
Note V: Missed this the other day, but Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch reported that Ottawa was considering Logan Stanley or Ben Hutton on a PTO with Artem Zub injured. It appears Hutton got the call, but it’s wild to think Stanley was projected by some to land a five-year deal worth $5 million annually in free agency and is now potentially limited to a PTO-type opportunity.
