The Winnipeg Jets experienced some early season power-play problems on Day 2 of training camp.
An overnight hydro outage at MTS Iceplex caused a three-hour delay to the start of Saturday’s on-ice sessions. Officials at MTS Iceplex discovered the power failure around 5:30 a.m. They immediately contacted Manitoba Hydro, who traced the issued to a farmer hitting a pole while doing some overnight plowing.
Power was restored to the building around 9:30 a.m.
"I’ve got a lot of people looking into it. The early reports, the early rumour is that he’s either a Flames or an Oilers fan that’s trying to sabotage our training camp," general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff joked while speaking at the Jets’ Fan Fest event.
