The gang’s all here for #NHLJets morning skate. Adam Lowry in regular sweater. Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg in non-contact. And no line changes from last game. Colin Miller, Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov look to be healthy scratches vs Chicago. Connor Hellebuyck starts.

There’s no such thing as high-stakes hockey in October. It’s still really early.

But today’s #NHLJets vs Utah Mammoth showdown has a fun reward for the winner: They’ll hit the hay tonight No. 1 in both the Central Division and Western Conference.

#NHLJets optional skate underway here at Canada Life Centre. Among the participants: The injured trio of Adam Lowry (in a regular sweater), Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg (yellow non contact).

OK, 90s Night just got even better. The #NHLJets are showing old commercials on the scoreboard including this one for season tickets.
October 24, 2025 at 11:51 PM
The retro music. The throwback graphics straight out of the Winnipeg Arena. A Smythe Division battle between the #NHLJets and #Flames.

All we’re missing in the portrait of the Queen and 90s Night here at Canada Life Centre would be perfect.

Here we go from Calgary — the sporting event all Canadians are watching tonight.

#NHLJets vs #Flames.
October 21, 2025 at 1:37 AM
I wouldn’t mind one bit if they keep this up during the entire #NHLJets/#Flames game tonight here at the Saddledome.
October 21, 2025 at 12:30 AM
The #NHLJets are on the ice for morning skate. I’m not expecting any lineup changes but we shall see what the line rushes bring shortly here.
October 20, 2025 at 5:32 PM
Construction well underway here in Calgary on their new arena, which is being built beside the Saddledome and set to open in the fall of 2027.
October 20, 2025 at 5:29 PM
#NHLJets AM skate underway. Captain Adam Lowry, in yellow non-contact, has joined his teammates.

There’s a new message painted on the wall here at Canada Life Centre which greets visiting teams as they leave the ice and head to their dressing room.

The #NHLJets are making their way home from Philadelphia after last night’s 5-2 win over the Flyers. Their next opponent -- the Nashville Predators — are already in town and skating right now here at Canada Life Centre. They suffered a tough OT loss last night in Montreal.
October 17, 2025 at 6:16 PM
#NHLJets on the ice for a quick skate before they get on the bird and fly to New York.

2-game road trip starts Monday afternoon.

Haydn Fleury (knee) is not skating. Kale Clague has been recalled from the #MBMoose. And Brad Lambert has been sent down to create a roster spot.

Quite a moment here as Jonathan Toews is introduced.

#NHLJets season begins here inside the rink with a video package, narrated by Adam Lowry, reflecting on the year that was -- and what's to come.

As it concludes, two new banners are unveiled in the rafters -- and the injured captain emerges on the bench with a fist pump.

Quite the hockey hardware on display here at Canada Life Centre.

Four trophies, all currently in the hands of the #NHLJets: Presidents’, William Jennings, Hart and Vezina.

Of course, they’d love to add one really big one to the haul.

A new quest for that begins tonight.
October 9, 2025 at 11:06 PM
It’s a big day for #NHLJets centre Jonathan Toews. He officially returns to the NHL tonight after a two-year health-related hiatus. His parents were in the crowd watching the morning skate. And now he meets a mass of media.

Jonathan Toews is on the ice for the #NHLJets as practice gets underway here at HFAC. So is Dylan DeMelo who left last game. No Cole Perfetti.
