This week on GROUND CONTROL, alumnus Blake Wheeler joins us!
Wheels is set to lead the team of Jets alumni as they hit the ice against the Montreal Canadiens alumni as part of the festivities for the 2026 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic.
Having played in an outdoor game twice in his career, he shares stories with host Jamie Thomas on what it’s like to play in those thrilling games.
Plus, we go in-depth on each of the other alumni revealed on the roster so far: Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little, Mathieu Perreault, Paul Stastny, Chris Thorburn, and Dustin Byfuglien

HI BEEN A HUGE JETS FAN ALL MY LIFE! LOVE YALL ❤️
i was a huge fan of wheeler.
Jets legend. ✈️
If I had a time machine I'd get Blake, Bobby Hull and Dale Hawerchuck drafted by the Jets together as their 1st line in the Jets 1st NHL season when I was 9 years old. Sure, it would require multiple jumps and a wee bit of kidnapping as well as severely screw up the current timeline but the Jets would have multiple Stanley Cups in my alternate universe.
