Fan fest has been announced

 

[KingBogo]

Will add more as things get announced but in the mean time:

Here's the pro group practice schedule in case anyone is interested in watching (used to be my domain)

I see you are still working the beat 3 provinces over. We should have got you to name a replacement before moving on

I miss the easy access. This is the time of year I would increase my visits. Would love to read some intel. Haven't had any time here to go check out the west coast pros this year (too busy)

Can't wait for camp to start.

About damn time, the offseason has been way too long

About damn time, the offseason has been way too long

It's about time for sure! Going with this narrative, this is the main-boards top news of the day:

Leafs scout charged with taking stolen golf cart on drunken joy ride

and fittingly, this is the opening post of the thread:

This is it folks. We've hit peak off-season. The headlines don't get any better.

Thanks Aavco, I may head out Wed and Fri to see who's skating with the pro group. Ill take some pics send them to you so you can post them here and convince everyone you flew out for the sake of HF Jets!

Attendance rising

Kulikov chose #5? That is ominous

No hockey = Mad TomServo

EDIT: I thought True North would retire Stuarts number.

Do we know what day training camp officially starts?

Sept 15 I believe. Fan fest is on the 16th

The practice jerseys are far different. The logo looks like something is added to it

It's going to be weird seeing #5 on someone that can actually skate pretty well.

There's a better shot of it when Wheeler was skating with his son. It basically looks like a Lifesaver now, but with the words "Winnipeg Jets" written around the logo.

Yay branding?

Anyways, I wonder if we'll see any PTOs at camp. There are enough of them out there.

A better skating Mark Stuart. Wonder if Kulikov will continue the time-honoured tradition of leaving your lane to execute a hit at the blue line, leaving your partner to fend off a significant scoring opportunity.

Igor Ulanov had that move down pat too.

Or the weak slapper hitting a shin pad leading to odd man rush going the other way..... good times good times

A defenceman, maybe? I was thinking Goloubef, but I now see the Sabres signed him to a PTO.

The Jets all seem to be wearing practice jerseys with names and numbers. In the past this only happened at training camp. The numbers were only visible on helmets. The players before and after TC always wore blank practice jerseys without names and numbers.

Seems like a pretty large contingent of the team is back now.

I may go check out the skate on Monday.

Omg Dano is lazy. He should be the first one to bend the knee. Winter is coming and the ice is much warmer than the pressbox

Slowly, Poolman built up his strength to the point where he was skating in early August.

The second development that could affect Poolman’s ability to crack the lineup this season is the team’s summer signing of veteran free agent Dmitry Kulikov.

Suddenly the Jets blue line looks reasonably solid.

Poolman brushes aside questions about making the team with a one-day-at-a-time approach.

Ice is ready at Bell MTS Place.

Ice is ready at Bell MTS Place.

Is that horrible jet thing in the centre line new, or did I just never notice it before?
