Jets news:

Global News: Winnipeg Jets not fans of ticket re-sellers like StubHub. I was never a fan of purchasing tickets on these types of sites. Of course that was mostly because I prefer getting a ticket stub from games I’d attend.
The Athletic Winnipeg: For veteran Atlanta transplants like Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler, patience finally paying off in Winnipeg. (Paywall). Patience is a virtue but one not often seen in sports (or society in general) where we have become so expectant of instant gratification.
