Note: All this month 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 5th year, they have a website, an active twitter feed @PassItForwardca, and they are giving away a autographed game used stick. Be sure to check it out.

Note II:  The Jets prospects play their last game today against the Canucks prospects at 2 pm cst.  It appears that the game is not available for streaming on the Jets site but you may be able to watch via the Canucks Young Stars page.
