A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage and all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.

Note: While yesterday was the second day of the NHL regular season it was the first day on the ice for the Jets. It was an opportunity to see and meet new Winnipeg goalie Clay Stevenson who made a very good first impression.

Note II: Today is another day of practice although the Jets will shift downtown to CLC for today’s skate which gets underway at 11 AM CT. Be sure to check back for the Practice Report.

Note III: Yesterday was also the 10th day of Moose training camp which also featured the same lines and D pairs as the day prior as they get set for their season/home opener on Saturday against the Wolves. They are off today and will be back on the ice tomorrow for a practice.
