The Winnipeg Jets Have Made a Surprising Announcement
The Winnipeg Jets have been a mess of a team when it comes to leadership, very much like the Philadelphia Flyers. Team Captain Blake Wheeler was rumored to be on the move last year, and he publicly stated it- just like Claude Giroux.
Wheeler said in a media conference if his plans align, and a winning atmosphere can be made he has no issue, but the veteran forward is starting to age and wants a shot at a cup.
Well, those comments have questioned his leadership as the teams captain, and the Jets have acted on it.
JETS ANNOUNCE LEADERSHIP GROUP RESTRUCTURING
The Winnipeg Jets announced today a restructuring of the team's leadership group ahead of the 2022-23 season.
"It is the determination of the coaching staff that we will enter the 2022-23 season without a specific captain, but rather a group of assistants still to be determined," said Jets head coach Rick Bowness. "It is our goal to expand the leadership base within our hockey team. We have high expectations for our core players and we want to provide them with the opportunity to step into those greater leadership roles as a group."
Jets head coach Rick Bowness and forward Blake Wheeler will be available to the media at 12:00 p.m. at Bell MTS Iceplex.
