Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets get the last quack. Nice to see the Jets not panic when they had a lead. They didn’t change their style and while they were clearly dominated by Anaheim throughout much of the game all that matters is walking out with two clean points.

Winnipeg Free Press: Maurice a keeper, says guy who fired him — twice. Interesting to read what Maurice’s former GM had to say about the Jets bench boss.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ boss ‘very pleased’ with new head coach. Difficult to not be pleased when you see the results that he has achieved to date.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets down Ducks. It was a momentous win last night and Ken recaps all the action.

Jets 3 Ducks 2:

Coach Paul Maurice post-game: Coach Maurice met with the media following the game against Anaheim.

Jets on a Deadline: Game recaps, post-game audio, video highlights and the NHL.com 3 Stars of the night.

IceCaps news:

The Telegram: Williams not surprised IceCaps could leave St. John’s. Danny Williams, IceCaps CEO and former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, spoke about the move.

Winnipeg Free Press: AHL team could move to Thunder Bay says Chipman. Chipman was on the trip to Anaheim and met with reporters to address the rumours.

Illegal Curve: Mark Chipman talks about potential of moving Jets AHL franchise to Thunder Bay (audio). Discussing the reports of a potential move from St. John’s to Thunder Bay. What’s the timeline? If it was to go ahead for Thunder Bay, any idea when? Thunder Bay would have its own travel challenges would it not? What is the arena project they are building? Who else is part of the group? Can St. John’s survive?

Illegal Curve: Are the Jets considering a move from St. John’s to Thunder Bay? News broke this AM that True North was considering a move of their AHL franchise from St. John’s to Thunder Bay.

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.
