With the Jets assigning Thomas Raffl and Jay Harrison to the Moose today, Manitoba made a couple of moves.

Moose Release:

The Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets, announced today that they have trimmed their roster by two spots ahead of the 2015-16 AHL regular season.

The Moose have re-assigned forward Ben Walker to Manitoba’s ECHL affiliate, the Tulsa Oilers. Walker, 22, played 36 games for the St. John’s IceCaps last season registering one goal and three assists while adding 16 penalty minutes.

Forward Brock Trotter has been released from his professional tryout agreement.

The Moose now have 26 players on their roster with the additions of defencemen Jay Harrison and forward Thomas Raffl who were assigned by the Jets earlier in the day.

The Moose open their 2015-16 AHL regular season schedule this Friday, Oct. 9 when they travel to face the Toronto Marlies at 6 p.m. CT.

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.
