Fan Fest marks the beginning of Winnipeg Jets' training camp, but it's also a chance for the new faces on the squad to see just how much Winnipeggers love their team.
“For the guys who have been here, it’s a reminder we’ve got great fans here — let’s do everything we can to keep them on our side and keep them supporting us.”The coach, 68, is no stranger to training camps. Prior to his decades of experience behind an NHL bench, Bowness attended numerous camps as a player, including as a Winnipeg Jet himself in 1980-81.
That off-season prep extends to the coach as well. Bowness said his preparations for 2023-24 began as soon as the final whistle was blown on the Jets’ playoff hopes last season. Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said the team has a simple focus from day one of camp: to win. Especially after a first-round exit in last season’s playoffs.
