While Jets prospect Kieron Walton is adding some physical activity to his routine according to Jets head coach Scott Arniel told us today he did not pass his last test. While he is “into some physical activity” according to the bench boss but “until he passes there is no more movement yet”.

Tough news for the prospect who was on the receiving end of a heavy, open ice hit in a game against the Habs prospects just short of two weeks ago.

We do know, as per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press, that Walton was skating with Jets captain Adam Lowry on another rink.

Once he passes his test he’ll be sent back to his junior team in Sudbury.

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.
