Note: As September rolls around and all this week we wanted to bring to your attention the Pass it Forward program which provides help to youth in Winnipeg who wish to play hockey but require aid in getting the necessary equipment. The program is in it’s 4th year, they have a brand new website, an active twitter feed @PassItForwardca, and they are giving away a team-signed picture of last season’s opening faceoff. Be sure to check it out.

Jets news:

Edmonton Journal:  NHL moves to get back control of the league from playersOnly problem for fans of the Winnipeg Jets and presumably for other teams is that most fans have already made payments on their season ticket commitments and you know they won’t be receiving any of that back.

TSN:  Daly, Steve Fehr speak briefly as CBA expiration draws nearSo much for that sense of urgency.

ESPN:  Is Marchand’s extension a bargain for B’s?  Perhaps I need to take off my 1980’s glasses so I can truly see the value in signing a guy who got 55 points to a 4.5 million dollar contract.

National Post:  Leafs goalie Ben Scrivens’ future filled with question marksBig question for the Leafs is what they will do in net next season.

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.
