Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: We were at hockey for all centre on Thursday watching the Jets, Moose and prospects continue to prepare for the upcoming season. Following the pro skate we heard from captain Adam Lowry (watch here) and Jonathan Toews (watch here). They will continue to practice as they prepare for training camp which starts next week. The prospects take off for Montreal today as they prepare for the Prospect Showdown which gets underway on Saturday night.

Note II: With folks eagerly anticipating the start of the 2025-26 season, perhaps you have some Jets related questions. If you’d like to participate in the Free Press mailbag send in your questions to Ken Wiebe and Mike McIntyre.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jonathan Toews blending in with the Jets. It was quite something to hear from a player with his laundry list of accomplishments be so humble. He sounded more like a young kid joining a new team rather than a former Conn Smythe winner and three-time Stanley Cup champ. 

Winnipeg Free Press: Toews thrilled to be back on the ice after health issue hiatus. (Paywall). You can really get the sense from him when he speaks about how much he missed the game during his two year absence. 

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets captain hits the ice in milestone after hip surgery. (Paywall). Slow and steady wins the race as he continues to rehab and while having patience isn’t the easiest of virtues the big Albertan is taking his time to ensure he doesn’t suffer any setbacks. 

TSN: Hellebuyck staying level as potential big season dawns: ‘I think expectations kill’. The fact is this team knows they will be judged based on what happens in the playoffs.
