With the Vancouver Canucks-hosted prospect showcase cancelled for 2025, the Winnipeg Jets and third-round selection Owen Martin have a change of scenery this fall.
The Jets will be taking part in a Prospect Showdown hosted in Montreal, as top young players in the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadians and Ottawa Senators systems battle Sept. 13/14.
Martin, who is from Oakbank, is one of three selections from Winnipeg’s 2025 draft who will be on the team’s roster. The roster also features 2023 first-rounders Colby Barlow and Brayden Yager.
The team skated twice in Winnipeg before travelling to Montreal.
Games will be streamed on www.winnipegjets.com. Winnipeg games are set for 6 p.m. Sept. 13 against Montreal and 6 p.m. Sept. 14 versus Ottawa.
Martin is set to return to the Spokane Chiefs in the Western Hockey League after his time at Jets camp this season.
The 2007-born forward finished the season with 34 points in 39 games, while chipping in with 12 more during Spokane’s run to the WHL finals.
