Jets & Affiliate news:

SI.com:  Winnipeg, Columbus may switch conferences in shortened NHL seasonLooks like the Jets and the team they first played in their return to the NHL migt be making a change.  Would certainly make travel a lot easier.  Bye Bye Eastern ConferencePerhaps this is why Illegal Curve’s Drew Mindell was in Columbus, Ohio yesterday.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Some fans boycotting NHL gearI guess one or two individuals does count as “fans” but I seriously doubt that Jets gear has been impacted.  While sales are not going to be what they were last year, we have already seen that they are very healthy here in Winnipeg.

TSN:  Dumont leads Bulldogs past IceCapsIt appears the Christmas break wasn’t enough to fix what ails the IceCaps as the team continues to struggle.

The Coloradoan:  Colorado falls short to begin series in AlaskaHeading to Alaska cooled off the hot December that the Eagles were having.

Globe and Mail:  A look at the NHL’s proposalTaking a look at the new changes the NHL has made to make this deal more palatable to the NHLPA.

CBC:  Sides still have plenty to doIf your head hasn’t popped off yet it is sure to in the next week or so as the sides haggle.

Globe and Mail:  New hope for hockey’s returnWell now we at least have an official end date for this never ending story.

Calgary Herald:  NHL, NHLPA playing all of us for rubesThe big question is will the NHL/owners and NHLPA do anything to appease fans?

Globe and Mail:  Season-ticket holders stand by their teamsIs anyone surprised that fans are staying loyal100,000 Canadian season ticket holders and 200 canceled tickets, which you know were snapped up in less than no time.

World Juniors:

CBC:  JC Lipon suspended 1 game for head shotLosing another player for Team Canada doesn’t help.  The Canadians need to show better self control as the tournament continues.

Ann Arbor.com:  Michigan defenseman Jacob Trouba scores lone Team USA goal in 2-1 loss to RussiaThe Jets prospect continues to look very good this tournament.

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.
