There has been plenty of consternation from folks outside Manitoba at the prospect of the Jets staying in Winnipeg with some soft crowds at Canada Life to kick off the 2023-24 season. Executive chairman Mark Chipman joined Jim on The Jim Toth Show to chat about this and more this afternoon on 680 CJOB. Runs about 11 minutes.

Topics:

1) What are the main factors in the drop in attendance?
2) How selling tickets works to Jets games via Ticketmaster? (3:56)
3) How much has apathy played into the attendance situation? (5:45)
4) The ‘Forever Winnipeg’ campaign and if there’s a chance this team could ever move during his tenure? (8:25)

There is a second part of the interview but it isn’t available on the CJOB site yet. When it is will add.

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.
