Not a surprise that the long-time Jets centre will be signed to a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Winnipeg Jets. He will be honoured in the game on October 20th.

From the team:

Bryan Little will sign a one-day contract with the team to officially retire from the NHL as a member of the Winnipeg Jets.

“It’s a great honour that I can retire as a member of the Winnipeg Jets and end my playing career with the organization where I was drafted and played my entire NHL career,” said Little. “I had the privilege to play in Winnipeg and in front of the amazing fans for nine seasons, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to thank the Jets, their fans and the city of Winnipeg. It will truly be a full circle moment for my family and I to celebrate my retirement in the building where I have so many special memories.”
