Note: The Jets took it on the chin after a decent 1st period last night against the Canuck found them down 2-1 and they were unable to generate anything in periods 2 and 3 which ultimately saw them fall 4-1 to Vancouver. Today they have a practice scheduled for 1 PM. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose are off today. They’ll resume training camp on Monday.

Jets news:

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.
