He wore 22 with the Tri-City Storm, 27 at Michigan State, 27 with the Manitoba Moose, he’s worn 82 with the Winnipeg Jets and now according to the team he is switching to the double 2 ahead of the 2020-21 season.
No word if he spoke to Chris Thorburn in advance of selecting 22 (this is a joke). The jersey was also worn by Mark Letestu (2019-20), Par Lindholm (2018-19) and the aforementioned Thorburn from 2012-2017.
