WINNIPEG - Shawn Matthias' off-season can be summed up in one tweet:
Tweet from @ShawnMatthias: Very excited actually I'm **explicit**pumped to be joining the @NHLJets for the next two years! Let's get it! What a Canada Day!
Today, as the Jets kicked off training camp at the modernized MTS Iceplex, Matthias put the jersey on for the first time, and it was just as sweet he imagined.
"I love where I live; the house has been good, the guys have been great," he said. "I've only been here just under a week, but I've really enjoyed it - except for the test."
Oh, right. That.
