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.
