A pictorial summation of the Winnipeg Jets open practice

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 as approximately 2500+ showed up to watch their team run drills.

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