Two of the National Hockey League’s most senior squads competed for the Stanley Cup this past season, but age is just a number according to a couple of Winnipeg Jets players.

The Jets are the second-youngest team on average in the league, with a median age of 26.7 and 14 players currently under contract, according to nhlnumbers.com. The club was the fourth-youngest team during the 2015-16 season, according to the same site.
