Coach Quotes:

On Wheeler – “Wheeler’s good.  He feels better than he did prior to the Chicago game”.

On Kane – “He has had an infection set in on that hand last night very, very late.  It ballooned up……..he will not play prior to the Olympic break”.

On Slater – ” Jimmy is on the progression that he was.  Our expectation is we are hopeful after the Olympic break he is back as a player for us”.

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.
