It’s a sure sign that hockey season has arrived.

For the fifth straight year, the Winnipeg Jets hosted their annual Fan Fest, inviting supporters to come down to the Bell MTS Iceplex to watch training camp and celebrate all things hockey in Winnipeg.

“It’s probably one of our favourite times of the year,” said Rob Wozny with True North Sports and Entertainment.

“These are our fans, this is our base, and it’s just a great opportunity to reconnect with them and share the passion of hockey for the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose.”

A variety of activities were held both inside and outside, including the Winnipeg Jets combine, the opportunity to shoot on Mick E. Moose and an EA Sports gaming lounge, where fans played the new NHL 2019.
