WINNIPEG -- It was almost 30 C outside but there was still hockey Monday as the Winnipeg Jets development camp got underway on the edge of the city with 43 young prospects. Air Max 97 Undefeated Acheter . Some, such as goaltender Eric Comrie, barely 18, probably have a long way to go before they lace up skates in the NHL. But others, such as centre Mark Scheifele, 20, could have a far more immediate impact on the future of a team that is trying to get a lot better this season. This is Scheifeles third such camp and he says he has one thing on his mind -- making the team that made him their first draft pick in 2011. He was also the first draft pick of the Jets period, since the former Thrashers had just relocated to Winnipeg from Atlanta. "Im working my hardest to be on the team full time this year," Scheifele said after the first day on the ice. The biggest thing Scheifele suggests he needs is strength and he is certainly a little bigger and stronger looking than he was in 2011. Scheifele and 2012 draft pick Jacob Trouba have been training with Gary Roberts. The retired NHL left-winger, who played 21 seasons in the league, runs a high-performance centre in Toronto. "Ive been there just over a month now. Ive already seen huge gains in my body and my strength," said Scheifele. He also says its good to have someone like Trouba around. Scheifele played for Canada and Trouba, the Jets top pick last year, for the United States in the world juniors. The U.S. won gold and Canada came home without a medal this year at the competition, something Trouba admits he brings up now and then. "We still joke about the world juniors quite a bit but we do push each other," said Scheifele. The Jets have tried him out twice at the beginning of the last two seasons but both times felt he needed more seasoning and sent him back to his OHL junior team, the Barrie Colts, coached by a former original Winnipeg Jet, Dale Hawerchuk. Scheifele developed into a major offensive threat in the OHL, leading his Colts to within one game of qualifying for the Memorial Cup this year. He was injured and had to watch as they lost Game 7 and missed the tournament. "It was honestly the hardest thing Ive ever done, to watch the game from the stands and not able to be out there in game seven. . . It was the toughest feeling Ive ever had to deal with, to see the guys heartbroken like that and not being able to be with them." This is the year many expect him to graduate but he suggests the pressure is the same he has felt every year. "I think theres always pressure. I put a lot of pressure on myself every year Ive been here." The Jets have 22 forwards, 15 defencemen and six goaltenders in camp, which lasts until Friday. Trouba also says the competitive spirit he and possible future teammate Scheifele bring to their training with Roberts is a good thing. "Were pretty good friends and I think the kind of people we are were both pretty competitive people. . . I think its good and its healthy for our relationship," he said. "I want this place to be home for quite a while for me and Im working hard to get there. . . I feel better than I have my whole career." Air Max 97 Undefeated Noir .com) - The Calgary Flames aim to bounce back from their first regulation home loss of the campaign on Friday night when they host a Detroit Red Wings club that they swept in three meetings a season ago. Air Max 97 Undefeated Shop .

BERKELEY, Calif. -- One year after Jared Goff left to become the first overall pick in the NFL draft, California coach Sonny Dykes will once again be looking for a quarterback replacement.Davis Webb, who took over for Goff, is set to play his final home game when the Golden Bears host UCLA at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Webb holds numerous single-season passing records and has accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl in his quest to join Goff in the NFL.What California will do for a quarterback once Webb is gone is a mystery. The Bears have a pair of underclassmen but neither played this season, as Dykes opted to stick with his starter the entire season.Dykes and his staff might have to find a replacement for wide receiver Chad Hansen, too. Hansen is also mulling his potential NFL options and has not yet to decide whether to declare for the draft or return for his senior season.Chads got a high ceiling and I dont think hes anywhere close to reaching it yet, Dykes said. I think it makes sense for him to come back but those are conversations well have after the seasons over. I still think hes a developing guy. He has an opportunity to become one of the elite guys in college football.Hansen is the Pac-12s leading receiver with 82 catches, 1,093 yards and 11 touchdowns despite missing two games with an ankle injury.While Webb has already embraced Saturday being his final college game, the Bears quarterback isnt sure what the plans are for his favorite target.I havent had that conversation with Chad, Webb said. Weve had just about every conversation under the sun but that one. Thats a credit to him, the hard work he put in this summer, to allow him to even have that possibility of leavingg early. Air Max 2018 Elite Prix. UCLA senior quarterback Mike Fafaul, who is also ending his collegiate career after this season, has had an uneven year while filling in for injured Josh Rosen. Fafaul, a redshirt senior, set a school single-game record for completions and attempts against Utah on Oct. 22 and has 11 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.Here are a few other things to look for when California hosts UCLA on Saturday in a matchup of two teams that are 4-7 overall and 2-6 in the Pac-12 :GROUND STRUGGLEWith an average of 84.3 yards on the ground the Bruins rank last in the Pac-12 for rushing. That might be a bad omen except that the Bears are last in the conference in rushing defense, allowing a whopping 290.1 yards per game.SLIM BOWL HOPESNeither California nor UCLA will reach the six-win mark this season, meaning their only hopes for a bowl game will be if there are not enough eligible teams to fill out of the bowl schedule. The NCAA hands out those invitations based on Academic Progress Rate. In 2015, three five-win teams were invited to play in postseason bowl games and all three won.STREAKSUCLA has won the last three games between the two teams but has won only once in Berkeley since 1998. Conversely, California has lost its last two games at Memorial Stadium but has posted home wins against two ranked teams (Texas and Utah) earlier this season.CAREFUL OFFENSEThe Bears have had 933 plays on offense this season yet have turned the ball over only 15 times, including just three fumbles. The school record for fewest turnovers in one season is 17, which California did twice. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
