The University of Winnipeg will celebrate the Winnipeg Jets’ regular season getting underway on October 9 with “Hockey Day on Campus” this Friday.

The all-day event will begin with a pancake breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Visitors will be able to meet NHL alumni, show off their puck-handling skills, and help raise funds for the UWinnipeg’s Inner-City Wesmen.

Activities will be held on the university’s Spence Street Promenade until 5:30 p.m.

The U of W has teamed up with CBC Manitoba for the celebration, who will be giving away prizes to those in attendance throughout the day.
