Lauer came to Winnipeg from junior hockey where he was head coach of the Edmonton Oil Kings. He was in charge of the power play for Winnipeg which finished 22nd in the NHL during the regular season.

Cheveldayoff confirmed that assistant coach Marty Johnston and goalie coach Wade Flaherty will return.

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.
