Chris Thorburn practises at the MTS Iceplex Monday morning.

CHRIS Thorburn has a decade of NHL experience, and he’s more than willing to pass on some of that wisdom to youngsters within the Winnipeg Jets organization.

It doesn’t matter a couple of themare gunning for the big winger’s job.

Thorburn, 33, will skate in his sixth training camp with the Jets when it begins in just more than a week from now. The Sault Ste Marie, Ont., product has also sweated out camps with the Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins and Atlanta Thrashers since he was drafted by the Sabres in the second round of the 2001 NHL Draft.
