Winnipeg Jets honour Len (Kroppy) Kropioski in pre-game ceremony

Jets superfan Len (Kroppy) Kropioski was honoured before the game by the Winnipeg Jets.  If you’re unfamiliar with his back story you can read more about him here.

After the video they played a soulful tune in tribute to Kroppy which was followed by an impressive moment of silence.

During the anthem they had a beam of light illuminate the seat Kroppy usually occupied and they then showed his image during the anthem in pictures with fans.

Ended with this image:

He will be missed.

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.
