Note:  The Jets are back in business as they welcome the New York Rangers to town to kick off the first of three straight at Bell MTS Place.  The team was off on Monday but will hit the ice for morning skate at 10:30 AM so check back for the pre-game report to get the latest news and audio.  Puck drop is at 7 pm.

Note II:  The Moose also took Monday off although some players spent the evening with the Bartel family whose rink in West St. Paul won them the Manitoba Moose Backyard Rink contest.  Today the Moose hit the ice at 10:30 am for a practice as they get ready to face Chicago here tomorrow night in the third game of this six-game homestand.

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.
