Note:  Following last night’s huge 5-1 win in Nashville against the Predators the Jets are next in Texas to conclude the pre Player & All-Star breaks.  Today they are off.  They’ll be back on the ice at 10:30 AM for morning skate on Saturday in Dallas.

Note II:  The Moose are back on the ice today at 10:30 am as they get ready for a pair of games this weekend against the Rampage this weekend to close out the six-game series at Bell MTS Place.  Saturday’s contest is Grassroots Hockey Day (which will include a Mason Appleton mini bobblehead giveaway to first 3000 fans) and Sunday is the always fun Star Wars Day in support of Children’s Wish Foundation.

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.
