Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Byfuglien sits, Niku debut on hold as Jets look to keep rollingKen tees up tonight’ game in Ottawa.

Global News:  Winnipeg Jets not fans of ticket re-sellers like StubHubI was never a fan of purchasing tickets on these types of sites.  Of course that was mostly because I prefer getting a ticket stub from games I’d attend.

The Athletic Winnipeg:  For veteran Atlanta transplants like Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler, patience finally paying off in Winnipeg.  (Paywall).  Patience is a virtue but one not often seen in sports (or society in general) where we have become so expectant of instant gratification.

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.
