Breaking News: Jets sign Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele to seven-year contract extensions.

Note: For the second straight day the Jets were off but there was some news as three players were placed on waivers in order to be compliant ahead of the 4 pm CDT this afternoon deadline to submit a cap compliant roster. They are now at 23 players. Today they are scheduled to skate and we shall have to wait and see if Nikolaj Ehlers is on the ice after getting a few days off the ice.

Note II: The Moose had back-to-back days of intra squad games this past weekend. Today at 10 AM CDT the non-game group will practice while at 1 pm the game group of Moose will face the Bisons in an exhibition game at hockey for all centre.

Note III: NCAA college hockey is back and Jets 2022 1st rounder Rutger McGroarty and his Michigan Wolverines split their two-game set with Providence. The forward had one assist in game one and then one goal and three assists in game two.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets make final cuts, 23-man roster set. Scott wrote about the final moves of training camp as the Jets got down to a compliant roster to begin the season.

National Post: Bowness confident in Jets’ goaltending group. It was something we discussed on Saturday’s IC Hockey Show. That all parties involved seem to be signaling that there may be a reduction in the games for number 37 with the confidence they have in his backup.

Ensuring they are roster compliant by Monday. Jets losing Jansen Harkins to waivers. Thomas Milic signing a contract with the Moose.

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.
