The glass along the sideboards will be removed to let fans get an up-close look at their favourite players.

Last season Anthony Peluso won hardest shot with a 103.9 mile per hour boomer. Mark Scheifele was the fastest skater while Bryan Little won the shooting accuracy competition.

Tickets are already on sale with the proceeds to benefit the Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation and the NHLPA Goals and Dreams Fund.
