Note III: The Moose were off on Monday after returning home from four games out west which included a 4-2 win over the Wranglers in Calgary on Sunday. They will hit the ice for a practice today as they prepare for tomorrow’s school day game against the Admirals which kicks off four straight at home.

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.
