Winnipeg Jets: Top Three Jets Players on the “Nice List”
Blake Wheeler
Blake Wheeler started his career with the Boston Bruins after attending the University of Minnesota. Wheeler was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers, in their last season before they moved to Winnipeg and he has been with the Winnipeg Jets Franchise ever since.
He earned an “A” on his sweater in the 2013-2014 season and then was promoted to Captain for the 2016-2017 campaign. He is known as one of the best leaders in the NHL and plays a tenacious game.
Wheeler can also score some timely goals and has put up an immense amount of points for the Jets. Over his 13 year NHL career, the thirty-four-year-old has picked up 264 goals, 497 assists (761 points), and has a +100 plus/minus. That is a great stat line that any player would love.
Besides being the Jets captain and leader on the team, the thirty-four-year-old is a great person in the community. Wheeler runs an annual event called: “Ride Inside: Come Wheel with the Wheelers.”
This event is outstanding and raises money for the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. As of November 6th, the Winnipeg Jets said that the Charity has raised $362,000 this year alone, which is absolutely outstanding and will definitely change lives.
"We're overwhelmed by the support"
