Note: The Jets return to Winnipeg following the NHL All-Star break and will hit the ice for a skate at the IcePlex today. Unlike January, which boasted a heavy home schedule, the team will only play four home games in the city in February starting with a tilt against the Dallas Stars tomorrow night.

Note II: The Moose have a few days off during the AHL All-Star break. Eric Comrie is participating in the game tonight in Syracuse, NY which starts tonight at 6 pm.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Weak loonie doesn’t put Canadian NHL teams at disadvantage. (Paywall). For fans who were concerned about the fluctuations in the dollar this article is for you.

Winnipeg Sun: Cheveldayoff succeeds in critical area. The team has certainly been lauded for the way they have drafted the last five years.

Moose news:

Illegal Curve: Eric Comrie named top goaltender at the All Star Skill Competition. The rookie Moose goalie continues to impress.

Globalnews: Moose send forward Axel Blomqvist to ECHL. Ironically the Tulsa Oilers had tweeted the day before he was sent down saying “A very Happy Birthday to @AxelBlomqvist ?! You’re missed in Tulsa!”.

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.
