  • Maurice Changes Lines at Jets Practice
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-changes-lines-at-jets-practice- 473698153.html Maurice changes lines at Jets practice By: Mike Sawatzky The Winnipeg Jets may have the NHL's best home record but there's a price to be paid for all that success. "When you're higher in the standings, and we're close to first, you're going to get teams pretty geared up to play you when they come in," said veteran Jets defenceman Ben Chiarot following practice at Bell MTS Place Saturday afternoon. "This is a tough building to play in and when you put where we are in the standings on top of that, teams are going to come out hard. If we're off one night or sleeping to start, we're going to be off on the wrong foot. "And St. Louis was pretty jacked up to play us." The Jets, mostly outplayed by the Blues in a 5-2 loss to St. Louis Friday night, will have another chance to defend home ice Sunday afternoon (2 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290) when the New York Rangers make their lone visit of the 2017-18 season. Winnipeg was 20-4-2 at home and tied for top spot in the Central Division while the Rangers were three points out of a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's action. On Thursday, Rangers GM Jeff Gorton sent shockwaves through the league when he announced the club was entering a rebuilding phase and warned the club's fans that a sell-off of major assets was probable prior to the Feb.

Highlights from the first part of the year included: • Camp Manitou operating at full capacity during the summer of 2019, while preparing the commencement of construction of a new lodge. • Pre-COVID, the 2019-20 school year saw 2,000 teachers across Manitoba trained to utilize the online-based Project 11 Mental Health Curriculum, available to all teachers and schools at no cost. • The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy (WJHA) grew to include 900 student athletes, providing opportunity to learn both sport and life skills from coaches, mentors, and one another. • Dual effort fundraising occurred, operating both tradition fund generating events (described in this report), and initiating a capital campaign required to grow capacity at Camp Manitou. In the midst of this activity, the effects of the COVID global pandemic began in Manitoba quickly in mid-March 2020, and challenged all facets of the TNYF. The cancellation of NHL/AHL games stopped the 50/50 and other fundraising efforts. The capital campaign was similarly paused, as we all waited to learn the scope impacts of the pandemic. With the transition from regular to home-schooling, normal delivery of programing for each of WJHA, Project 11 and Camp Manitou similarly came to an abrupt halt.

  • Plenty to Be Giving Thanks for High-Flying Jets Spending U.S. Long Weekend in California
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/plenty-to-be-giving-thanks-for- 459673573.html Plenty to be giving thanks for High-flying Jets spending U.S. long weekend in California By: Jason Bell ANAHEIM, Calif. — It’s really no one’s business — except, perhaps, their bosses’ — what the Winnipeg Jets had planned late Thursday for the rest of American Thanksgiving here in sunny, sweltering southern California. Whether they had a team dinner complete with all the trimmings, split into smaller groups and scattered to enjoy steak or sushi, or simply barricaded themselves at the hotel and ordered room service, the Jets have much to be thankful for right now. The Central Division club is walking tall and looking good as one of the NHL’s premier clubs just past the quarter mark of the 2017-18 season. On Wednesday night, Winnipeg gutted out an impressive 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings — buoyed by a sensational 38-save effort from goalie Steve Mason — to improve to 13-5- 3 and remain second in the Central Division and Western Conference. After 21 games, the Jets find themselves No. 3 overall in the league behind only the powerhouse Tampa Bay Lightning (16-3-2) and the Central Division-rival St. Louis Blues (16-5- 1). The Jets have accumulated the same number of points (29) as both the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs, but have games in hand on those clubs and get the third perch based on winning percentage. Indeed, Winnipeg still has 61 games left on the schedule, and much could change before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin the second week of April.
