Moose Release:

The Manitoba Moose Hockey Club is proud to announce that, prior to tonight’s game against the Rockford IceHogs, the team welcomed its five millionth fan since the team’s inaugural game in Winnipeg on Oct. 11, 1996.

At 6:14 p.m. CT tonight, Paul Vieira walked through the doors at MTS Centre, becoming the five millionth fan to attend a Manitoba Moose home game. Vieira, a long-time Moose package holder, was presented with a commemorative ‘ticket’ and one-of-a-kind Manitoba Moose jersey. Vieira also received a pair of 2017-18 Manitoba Moose Season Seats, and as a final acknowledgment of the milestone, Vieira was presented with a commemorative MTS Centre seat.

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.
