Winnipeg Jets rookies get new numbers for 2016-17 season

The Jets rookies will be getting some new numbers.

Kyle Connor is going from 41 to 81. (First player to wear this number for Jets or Thrashers). Connor wore 18 in college and since that number is worn by Bryan Little its likely he just decided to reverse those numbers.

Josh Morrissey goes from 36 to 44. (Previously worn by Zach Bogosian).

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.
