Blake Wheeler media availability on no longer being the captain of the Winnipeg Jets

Since August of 2016 Blake Wheeler has worn the ‘C’ for captain on his Winnipeg Jets uniform but he will not do so to kick off the 2022-23 campaign as the team made the decision to restructure the leadership group.  The Minnesotan spoke about this move today at the IcePlex.

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.
