Winnipeg Free Press:  Scheifele to wear no.55A solid number.  Expect the Freedom 55 lines to begin starting todayOr possibly the Sammy Hagar “I can’t drive 55” song to play when he scores!

Globe and Mail:  The Scheifele family heads to WinnipegI think the guys spoke with the Scheifele family following the Entry Draft in Minneapolis and they were excited then that their son had been selected by his mentor’s team.  Just wait till they see how their son has been embraced by the entire city.

NHL.com:  On and off ice, Mark Scheifele has earned his NHL spotThis is the Mark Scheifele show and many fans in Winnipeg are not going to be able to turn the channel.

NHL.com:  Home is where fans give you a standing ovationThe Finnish Flash got quite the welcome when he returned to Finland but this is why we in Winnipeg love him:

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.
