Jets, Affiliate & local news:
TSN: Jets fans having hockey taken away once again. It seems unbelievable that just a year ago we were enjoying the glow of the NHL returning to Winnipeg.
Star Phoenix: Lukas Sutter ready for a new beginning. It has not been a banner start to the season for the Jets pick in 2012 so far. Left off the Subway Series roster he is trying to regain the spark he had last season.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets lace up to support Children’s Hospital. Andrew Ladd was tweeting that with Tanner Glass participating, we might be in for a GST reunion.

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Star Tribune sits down with NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr. Russo gets a nice 1 on 1, although Fehr is his usual ‘keep things close to the vest’ self.
