Jets Development Camp Day 1: Coach Paul Maurice

The Jets bench boss shares his thoughts in-between groups A and B skate on Day 1 of Development Camp.

Coach Paul Maurice –  First impressions of camp.  Reactions to free agency signings/departure of Frolik.  What does he watch for from a guy like Ehlers this week?  His conversation with Burmistrov at the World Championship.  Role that Burmistrov can fill.  His thoughts on his assistant coaches and how they became “his guys”.  First impressions on Brendan Lemieux.  How much has he watched of what other NHL teams are doing during off season.  His responsibility to welcome all the draft picks (not just the top picks).  Measuring the Jets against the Stanley Cup playoff teams.

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.
