Wisconsin Jr Jets Hockey

U16 & U18 Team Information:

This will be the third year of the partnership between the Janesville Jets NAHL Hockey Club and the Wisconsin Elite Hockey League (WEHL) to provide motivated Wisconsin High School hockey players an opportunity for unmatched exposure to complement the development they are receiving in WEHL.  The partnership has been successful!  Several former Jr. Jets/WEHL all-stars have made NAHL teams for this coming season including; Christian Bardarson, Nick Techel, and Max Techel.  In addition, several others have “moved up” from the Jets/WEHL all-stars to Team Wisconsin the following year; Max Techel, Robby Newton, Dane Sjowall, Hunter Stracha, Peter Genatempo and Walker Haessig. 

The Jets/WEHL all-star teams will participate in the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, MN from September 20-23 and in the Nike-Bauer World Invite in Chicago, IL from November 2-4.  The NAHL Showcase is the most heavily scouted hockey event in North America.  There will be more than 300 NHL, NCAA, USHL and NAHL scouts in attendance.  Every Division 1 school will be there.  The World Invite is heavily scouted, too.
