A pictorial summation of the Winnipeg Jets home opener

If you were unable to get down to the MTS Centre to enjoy the game but want to see some pictures here is an IC pictorial summation of the day:

Day begins with the Illegal Curve Radio show, live in the atrium of the MTS Centre:

Member of the TSN 1290 broadcast team and Stanley Cup champ Shane Hnidy shows off his ring:

Whenever a Habs fan would walk past Moxie’s he or she would be booed by the crowd:

Not sure if he was really looking to buy or using the classic scalpers move:

The amount of media on the street was unbelievable:

Some of the guys attended the Mark Chipman and Gary Bettman press conferences:

I believe this couple changed their wedding time so they could still make the game:

The Queen was in the building:

Pre-Game Skate:

On-ice displays:

Rick Rypien’s mom before the ceremonial puck drop:

During a whistle in the action:

Lots of action around the Jets net all night:

Crowd shot:

These are just some of the images that we captured.  The Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg Sun and the Globe and Mail have produced similar summations that we suggest you check out.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
