Theres lots of excitement in the air today as the Winnipegs Jets summer development camp is set to begin today.

The Winnipeg Jets will host 17 draft picks and 18 other players to their annual summer development camp which gets underway with the first on ice session Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. at Hockey For All Centre.

This presents a massive opportunity for the young Jets prospects within the organization. GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said during a press conference that the Jets prospects should take this chance to prove themselves as this is the year the Jets are looking internally for someone to step up.
Headlining the 35-player roster will be the likes of 2022 first and second round picks Brad Lambert and Elias Salomonsson, 2023 (fifth-rounder) Jacob Julien, Alfons Freij (2nd round), Niagara Ice Dogs forward Kevin He (4th round), Finnish centre Markus Lopinen (5th round), and Sudbury Wolves centre Kieron Walton (6th round).

Jets top prospect Rutger McGroarty will not be participating in the development camp as he has expressed his intent to leave the Jets as he is "unhappy" with the organization.
