Jets re-assign 17 players from training camp

By this time last year the team had already cut down the training camp roster by 27 players although training camp last year began on September 18th (this season it began September 23rd).  Last season they did make their first round of cuts five days into camp although I suspect they wanted to wait for coach Maurice to return to the city from the World Cup of Hockey so he could watch a skate and talk to his coaches before announcing any.

This afternoon the team finally made their first re-assignments of the 2016-17 season.  There are as follows:

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.
