Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Your source for all the latest NHL, Jets and Moose news, video and audio.

Note:  I expected to be writing this note in September not July but 2020 has brought another Jets training camp to Winnipeg which gets underway this morning.  However this one will be vastly different than the one last summer.  For the next two weeks or so players will be gearing up for their play-in series against the Flames.  As always be sure to keep it locked here for all the latest from the Jets training camp.

Note II:  The big news on Sunday was the release of the training camp roster for Winnipeg.  Notable omission was veteran Bryan Little.  I’m sure we will learn  more (Update: he will not be participating) when either coach Paul Maurice or GM Kevin Cheveldayoff speak (both are slated to have a media availability today).  Group 1 gets underway at 7:45 AM while Group 2 goes at 9 AM.

Note III:  Hear from Jets bench boss Paul Maurice who spoke following the conclusion of the skating portion of day one.  Kevin Cheveldayoff will speak this afternoon.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Little not on roster as Jets begin training camp for return to playThere has been quite a bit of speculation about the veteran centre since he went down with a serious injury back in November and we will may have greater clarity on his status after Jets coach Paul Maurice or GM Kevin Cheveldayoff hold their availability later today.
