Jets Looking Forward to Division Change

“Obviously, for us it makes travel a lot easier,” said Jets captain Andrew Ladd. “I’m very familiar with that division, it’s going to be a tough (conference) but it’s going to be fun too. They’re tough, gritty teams and now you can build rivalries and get into that sort of thing.”

“I like being in the midwest a little more and being in the Central time zone,” added Jets winger Blake Wheeler, who hails from Minnesota. “It’ll be fun to play back home a little more often and more specifically, for our travel, it’s going to be huge to play the majority of our games in this area.”
