Winnipeg Jets suspend goaltender Connor Hellebuyck for skipping training camp in Canada

In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the Winnipeg Jets suspended goaltender Connor Hellebuyck on Wednesday night for failing to report to training camp. Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner and 2025 Hart Trophy winner, had publicly requested a trade on August 27, revealing he had privately asked for a trade months earlier. The team did not specify the suspension length, and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff is expected to address the media on Thursday. The suspension follows predictions that Hellebuyck would not attend camp, escalating the trade standoff.
