Note:  Some new numbers for players next season.  The most significant for fans is that Jack Roslovic is ditching his familiar 52 for the number 28 (which if he players with Ehlers and Laine could see a line of 27-28-29).  As well Laurent Brossoit is 30, Nicolas Kerdiles is 49, Seth Griffith is 16, Simon Bourque is 52 and Dennis Everberg is 45.

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.
