Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: It was a busy day in Jetsland on Friday beginning with Parker Ford being assigned to the Moose bringing the training camp roster down to 27. Still no Nikolaj Ehlers at skate and then the Jets bench boss broke the news that Ville Heinola suffered a fractured ankle in the game against the Senators on Thursday. We’ve got the full recap from the day that was here.

Note II: The Jets are off today.

Note III: The Moose were off on Friday although the AHL club of Winnipeg did make some news signing Jets goalie prospect Thomas Milic to a one-year AHL deal.

Note IV: Reminder to join us today for two hours of Jets and Moose talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show as Jets training camp is winding down with the team gets closer and closer to their opening day roster and on the other hand the Moose are just ramping up their camp. We discuss it all with Kelly Moore of 680 CJOB and Daniel Fink, play-by-play voice of the Manitoba Moose. Join us here.
