Winnipeg Sun:  Peluso surprises by besting Byfuglien in Jets hardest shot competitionOf all the events last night I think many in the crowd assumed that Buff had the hardest shot contest in the bag.  However, somewhat unexpectedly, Anthony Peluso landed the heaviest blow (to the puck and not a face) registering a shot over 103 mph.

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.
