Note: It was another busy day at Development Camp in Winnipeg on Thursday as prospects got put through their paces with more on-ice testing which, for a group with all these scholastic achievers, was probably right up their alley. Following skate we heard from Nikita Chibrikov (watch here), Elias Salmonssen (watch here) and Thomas Milic (watch here).

Note II: Another day of Development Camp gets underway today. Be sure you’re subscribed to our YouTube channel for links to today’s videos.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets prospect goalie Thomas Milic isn’t someone to bet against. Drafted. Not drafted. Doesn’t matter. Jets goalie prospect & WHL goalie of the Year for the champion Thunderbirds Thomas Milic said it best today in response to a question about “not being denied his shot” and having the right mindset.

Winnipeg Free Press: Lambert matured as player in WHL. (Paywall). He could have pouted and tried to force his way back to Europe but instead he trusted the guidance of the organization.

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.
