Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: It’s great to have Burmistrov back: Maurice. It was quite clear once again that coach Maurice is excited/eager to get the former 1st round pick back in the fold as soon as possible,
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets hope Ehlers becomes a great Dane. Fans were quite excited to see the Jets 2014 1st round pick back on the ice for Winnipeg yesterday and many hope to see him when September rolls around.
Winnipeg Sun: A lifetime in hockey. When you have a pedigree like Lemieux does it is easy for fans to envision the player you may one day become.
Winnipeg Sun: Ehlers has been trying to pack on the pounds in hopes of making the Jets roster in fall. An increase in size, provided it doesn’t impact his speed, will be just what fans have been hoping another year of seasoning would bring.
Illegal Curve: Jets re-sign assistant coaches. They also added Rick St. Croix to the developmental mix.
Illegal Curve: Signed – Andrew MacWilliam | Brendan Lemieux
