WINNIPEG — For a third straight year, the Winnipeg Jets will hold a local draft party on the day of the NHL entry draft.

This year’s draft is June 30 in Newark, N.J., and the Jets have chosen the new Shark Club in Cityplace as the venue for their local event.

Jets skaters Mark Stuart and James Wright will be in attendance at the Shark Club, available for autographs and photos. Fans attending will also be eligible for prizes.
