Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Feb 24, 2026

Note: The Jets hit the ice for another day of practice on Monday as they continue to ready themselves for the re-start of the NHL season following the Olympic break. We did hear from Darren Dreger who indicated defenceman Josh Morrissey will miss a “good chunk of time” although head coach Scott Arniel would only confirm that 44 wouldn’t play in their game on Wednesday. Check back for the Practice Report before the team heads out on the road for three games.

Note II: Yesterday was an off day for the Moose after a disappointing weekend in Winnipeg that saw them get just one of four points against the bottom-dweller of the Central. They are back on the ice today where they will practice at 9 AM CST before heading to Michigan to take on the Griffins which kicks off three games on the road. Check back for the Practice Report.

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.
