Winnipeg Sun:  Rink sits empty instead of Jets home opener.  Today should be the start of the 2012-13 NHL season for the Jets at the MTS Centre.  Unfortunately the building will be silent to the True North chant during the anthem and fans are rightly upset with both sides about the lack of progress.

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.
