The Winnipeg Jets will kick off preparation for the 2023-24 season next week by holding a development camp at the Hockey For All Centre for their recent NHL Entry Draft picks as well as other organizational prospects, beginning Tuesday, July 4.
The first on-ice sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, July 5, and will continue through Saturday, July 8. Full sessions begin at 10 a.m. each day and all are open to the public. Goalies will hit the ice at 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday and Friday.
Three goalies, eight defencemen and 16 forwards are on the camp roster. That group includes all five players selected by the Jets during this week’s 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville as well as six of the seven who were drafted by Winnipeg in 2022 in Montreal.
The lone absentee from the latter group is defenceman Garrett Brown, who was the Jets fourth round pick a year ago. A team spokesperson says Brown has school commitments at the University of Denver.
Seventeen of the 27 players are Winnipeg draft picks while Brad Lambert, Chaz Lucius, Tyrel Bauer, Parker Ford and Carson Golder are five players attending the camp who have played for the AHL Manitoba Moose.
