It was a busy Monday at hockey for all centre as the Jets had their 12th day of training camp while the Moose started their first one as the AHL club of Manitoba begins to get ready for their 11th season back in Winnipeg.
IR skating:
Morning began with Jets captain Adam Lowry skating as he continues his rehab from offseason hip surgery skating with J.P. Vigier. Also on the ice was prospect Kieron Walton (concussion) who continues to work his way back. He’ll head back to junior when he passes his test.
Skate news:
Somewhat unexpectedly Thomas Milic was skating in place of Connor Hellebuyck who had been warming up with the group that had been scheduled to be on the ice but left for the dressing room.
