Jets sign college draft pick

Welcome to pro hockey, Garrett Brown.
The Winnipeg Jets have signed the 22-year-old to a two-year entry-level contract after he recently completed his third season with the University of Denver Pioneers.
Brown, a defenceman, certainly ended his college season in style: he assisted on the tying and winning goals as Denver won the national championship at last week’s Frozen Four in Las Vegas.
Brown was selected in the fourth-round, 99th-overall, in the 2022 draft. He is the son of former NHLer Curtis Brown.
He will report immediately to the Manitoba Moose, who are set to begin the Calder Cup playoffs next week.
