A pictorial summation of the Winnipeg Jets open practice

Once again for those fans on the outside looking in, today was a chance for those on the wait list to get preferential treatment as fans were given access to the Jets practice. It was a party atmosphere inside the MTS Centre today as fans showed up to watch their team run drills.

For those unable to attend here are some pictures from the hour long practice. Enjoy.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
