Jets tab Wheeler as captain The Winnipeg Jets have named forward Blake Wheeler as their new captain. He will represent the United States at the upcoming World Cup of Hockey in Toronto. I’m not sure if Wheeler, a Minnesota native getting ready to play for the U.S. in the World Cup, noticed the irony of the situation. “It took a little bit of time to get my feet planted back on the ground,” Wheeler said. “We poked fun at each other a little bit,” Wheeler said.
