It’s rather fitting that when the curtain rises on a new season, the Winnipeg Jets will take their act on the road and open up on Broadway.
You couldn’t script a better debut, what with old friends-turned-foes Jacob Trouba and Brendan Lemieux and the New York Rangers playing host at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Oct. 3.
However, the show really begins this week in the form of training camp at Bell MTS Iceplex, with physicals and on-ice testing on Friday and the first of seven dress rehearsals (pre-season games) starting Monday.
There’s no shortage of interesting characters, storylines, compelling drama and likely a few plot twists that will unfold over the next three weeks.
