Note: The Jets are done. The Moose are done. We will still try to get you anything relevant to the pro hockey clubs of Manitoba during the next little bit. Of course the big focus is on the 2026 NHL Draft for which the Jets hold the 8th overall selection. We will be spending quite a bit of time learning about the players who could hear their name get called by Winnipeg at the end of June.
Note II: Winnipegger Reece Vitelli is off to Sweden next season after wearing Moose antlers for two campaigns. He will play alongside Jets prospect Viktor Klingsell (2025 5th), who will spend next season on loan with Kalmar.
Jets news:
The Athletic Winnipeg: A perfect Jets offseason starts with a reality check and good scouting. (Paywall). It sounded like we were kidding when we said this is likely the most consequential summer for GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and company but it really is. They have to figure out a direction for their hockey club.
