Jets Rookie camp starts Sept.10

[barks1737]

If my math is correct... that means True North is starting the on ice product in 29 days!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're all counting the days till puck drop, but in 29 days from now camp starts.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the main camp starts on the 17th. That means 36 more days till we'll really have on ice stuff to talk about.

Does anyone know if other NHL teams allow public access to team practises?? I just can't wait!!!!

Canucks to host 2011 Young Stars Tournament

Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Tournament, featuring young and future NHL stars from five NHL teams hosted Sept. 11-15 in Penticton.

Vancouver, B.C. – The Vancouver Canucks announced today that they will host the 2011 Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, British Columbia, beginning on Sunday, September 11th. For the second consecutive year, the Vancouver Canucks and the city of Penticton will host the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Tournament: a round-robin tournament, featuring prospects from the Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets from September 11-15.

“This tournament last year produced an economic impact of $1.8 million and not only showcased our beautiful community and state-of-the-art facility but also exposed the residents of the Okanagan to NHL caliber hockey. The caliber is fast, hard-hitting and intense,” said City Councilor and Committee Chair Andrew Jakubeit.

I think i remember hearing somthing about the teams streaming the games on thier team websites last year, but im not sure. I would guess that we would be able to see them on the offical team website.

The games were streamed on the Flames website last year and I believe the same for Edmonton and Vancouver.

I hope the website is ready for the traffic! We'll probably bring down the entire NHL network. ;D

I hope we host a youngstars tournament in the future. I'd love to check out our prospects against others.
Man this is getting exciting.

[jjmoohead]

Ok great, thanks guys. I didn't follow any of this last year...or years before that if I think about it.

Here this was from last year I believe.

I imagine this is all going on at iceplex. It would be pretty sweet (though impractical) if the had it during construction. I can't imagine much would get done.

Some players have been coming and going from the dressing room. I imagine prospects and that, because I haven't recognized anyone. I could only pick out Kane, Byfuglien and Ladd though.

Can anyone confirm it's the iceplex for training camp?

[scubasteve1319]

I would think they would do training camp at the iceplex. I'm hoping it's open to the public! Definitely going to have to go watch one day! I'm REALLY starting to get excited for winter...and I don't think I have ever said that before!

[pank]

I'd love to see them open up MTS Centre for a practice/shootout/intrasquad game before Columbus comes to town, but I'm guessing it would be unfeasible if there is construction going on.

It should be.

The Flames training camp is open to the public, but, you have to sit in the upper bowl.
