Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  Looked like Jets 2019 2nd rounder Simon Lundmark had his first Swedish Hockey League goal last night but it was deflected so the defenceman ended up with a primary assist instead.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Vesalainen not fooling around. (Paywall). Jay had a good chat with the 2017 1st rounder. You really get a sense of maturity from what Vesalainen had to say.

The Athletic:  Is Matthew Tkachuk the last great NHL pest? Former pests weigh in on a dying art.  (Paywall).  Not really Jets specific but does go into great detail about what things might look like in an All-Canadian division next season.

Jets video:

Sportsnet: Jets success next season will hinge on Connor Hellebuyck. Western Canada round table with Gene Principe, Sean Reynolds, Dan Murphy & Ryan Leslie discuss what will be the Jets ‘X-Factor’ in the coming season.

Moose news:

Sportsnet:  AHL leaning on NHL ahead of uncertain season, with questions aplenty.  Not specific to the Moose but obviously pertinent to the local minor hockey league club.

Official Manitoba Site: Moose run virtual Hockey Fights Cancer campaigns throughout November.  There are so many examples of the Hockey Fights Cancer having a positive impact on the lives of their fans.  Learn more on how the AHL franchise in Winnipeg is trying to help out.

Ice news:

Official Winnipeg site:  Ice launch virtual teddy bear toss in support of Children’s Hospital Foundation.  I’m a big fan of the teddy bear toss in the normal course and since nothing about 2020 is normal here is a way to support this great cause virtually.
