Some of the brightest prospects in the Winnipeg Jets organization will get their chance to shine starting next week.
A total of 23 players — including 15 who have been drafted by the hockey club in recent years — will partake in the 2023 Rookie Camp and the Young Stars Classic tournament being held in Penticton, B.C.
Thirteen forwards, eight defencemen and two goaltenders will gather at the hockey for all centre on Wednesday for the first of two on-ice sessions before heading to British Columbia on Thursday.

Brad Lambert will be among the Jets prospects taking part in the Young Stars Classic tournament.
The Jets squad will face the rising stars of the Edmonton Oilers (Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. CST), Vancouver Canucks (Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. CST) and Calgary Flames (Sept. 18 at noon CST). All games will be streamed live at www.winnipegjets.com.
The roster breaks down as follows:
Nine drafted forwards: Colby Barlow (2023 1st-round pick), Brad Lambert (2022 1st-round pick), Chaz Lucius (2021 1st-round pick), Nikita Chibrikov (2021 2nd-round pick), Daniel Torgersson (2020 2nd-round pick), Danny Zhilkin (2023 3rd-round pick), Henri Nikkanen (2019 4th-round pick), Jacob Julien (2023 5th-round pick) and Connor Levis (2023 7th-round pick).
Four additional forwards: Parker Ford, Thomas Caron and Carson Golder (who all played games with the Manitoba Moose last year) and Mark Liwiski, an undrafted winger from Dauphin who spent last year in the ECHL.
Four drafted defencemen: Elias Salomonsson (2022 2nd-round pick), Simon Lundmark (2019 2nd-round pick), Dmitry Kuzmin (2021 3rd-round pick) and Tyrel Bauer (2020 6th-round pick).
Four additional defencemen: Simon Kubicek (played games with the Manitoba Moose last year), Artemi Kniazev (recently acquired from San Jose in exchange for Leon Gawanke) and Jordan Tourigny and Wyatt Wilson, who spent last year in the Canadian Hockey League playing for the Shawinigan Cataractes and Winnipeg Ice respectively.
Two drafted goaltenders: Thomas Milic (2023 5th-round pick and reigning WHL goaltender of the year) and Dominic DiVincentiis (2022 7th-round pick and reigning OHL goaltender of the year).
Several of the players are then expected to move on to NHL training camp which begins Sept. 20 in Winnipeg.
A handful of other prospects in the system are not participating because they are currently with either college or European clubs, including 2022 first-rounder Rutger McGroarty (Michigan).
