Winnipeg Jets make first cuts of 2024-25 training camp

Training camp began last week with 53 players on the roster. After less than a week of skating and two pre-season games that number will now be reduced as Winnipeg has announced the following moves:

To Manitoba:
F – Chaz Lucius
F – Henri Nikkanen
F – Danny Zhilkin

Back to junior teams:
F – Kevin He
F- Jacob Julien
F – Connor Levis
F – Markus Loponen
F – Kieron Walton

The following four players have been released from their professional try-outs:
D – Dylan Anhorn
D – Dawson Barteaux
D – Ashton Sautner
F – Ben King

All four have AHL deals with the Moose and will be at their training camp.

The Jets now have 23 forwards, 13 defencemen, and five goalies remaining at training camp.

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.
