CAPTAIN BLAKE WHEELER WELCOMES YOU TO THE 2017 WINNIPEG JETS CHALLENGE CUP On behalf of the Winnipeg Jets and True North Sports + Entertainment, welcome to Bell MTS Iceplex for the 2017 Winnipeg Jets Challenge Cup hockey tournament, sponsored by Subway. Nothing brings a team together quite like tournament play. Looking back on my own minor hockey career, tournaments were great for bonding as a team and for bringing out a healthy competitive spirit. Play hard and push yourself to achieve your own personal best. Also remember that the great game of hockey is a team sport and that games are won (and lost) together. Families and fans - you can expect to see some great hockey over the course of this tournament. Players, teams, coaches and officials, good luck and best wishes for a fun and memorable 2017 Challenge Cup! Blake Wheeler, Captain, Winnipeg Jets 2017/18 CHALLENGE CUP TOURNAMENT
