Note: The prospects have completed all of their on and off ice drills as Jets Development Camp came to an end on Thursday. Many will return back to their summer homes as they get back into training mode. We won’t see them again until around September 10th when a number of player will prepare to head to Penticton BC for the YoungStars Classic. Jets training camp will get underway about ten days later.
Note II: As many heard yesterday the Jets signed Mathieu Perreault to a four year contract extension. You can hear from Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and Head coach Paul Maurice speaking about the extension.
