Winnipeg Jets open practice (audio, video and pictures)

The Winnipeg Jets held an open practice on the first day of training camp on Saturday.  5,000 fans showed up for free popcorn and drinks and enjoyed the practice.  Here are some pictures, videos and audio from Blake Wheeler for those who missed the festivities:

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.
