Note:  The Jets, including 2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti via the taxi squad, were back on the ice on Thursday as they practiced in advance of their game tomorrow night against the Canucks. Today they are scheduled for another day of practice and we’ll have it all covered in our Practice Report.

Note II:  The Moose got a boost of eight faces ahead of their third day of training camp on Thursday. We also learned in the early evening that the All-Canadian also got a boost in the form of a fifth team as the Stockton Heat will head north for this season to play in Calgary.  Day four of camp resumes out at the IcePlex today.

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.
