A long and varied history, compressed into 100 pointsBy Andrew KuligowskiI have been impressed with all of the books in the ldquo;100 Things hellip;rdquo; series that I've read to this point ndash; both of them. ldquo;100 Things Jets Fans Should Know and Do Before They Dierdquo;, as the author freely admits, is different than the other books, in that there are multiple incarnations of the Winnipeg Jets to address. There's the version that made news in the early 1970s by signing Bobby Hull to play in the World Hockey Association. There's the Jets that joined the National Hockey League in 1979 and played there for approximately 15 years until they moved to Phoenix (although the author of this book considers this just a continuation of what he calls ldquo;Jet's 1.0rdquo; from the WHA days). Finally, there's the team that moved to Winnipeg from Atlanta around 5 years ago.The author does a typically good job in selecting 100 events and sights that encompass the history of the team(s). Each reader can (and probably will) believe that there is some particular site, image, or event that is missing from the book because the author selected something else ndash; and I'm sure that everyone reading the book will dispute the ranked order that the author assigned each component.I would have preferred a slight departure from the traditional format in this instance. Given the multiple lives that the Winnipeg Jets have had, I would have preferred that the author break the book into sections ndash; say (counts approximate) 30 things from the WHA days, another 30 from the early NHL days, a third group of 30 for the newest edition of the team, and 10 to address the short lifespan of the Atlanta Thrashers (who are unlikely ever to merit such a book, given market conditions and interest) along with the minor-league Manitoba Moose who have recently returned to Winnipeg as the Jets' farm club. I would have found this much easier to follow than the intermingling of events that was used for this book.Very good book. Enjoyed it. BUT think I could have enjoyed it even more.RATING: 4 1/2 stars, rounded down to 4 stars where 1/2 stars are not permitted. Perfect for Jets fans who think they already know everything Most Jets fans have attended a game at the MTS Centre, seen highlights of the legendary Bobby Hull, and remember where they were when the news broke that the Jets were coming back to Winnipeg. But only die-hards remember the WHA years, were there when they captured their first Avco World Trophy, or witnessed the greatness of Dale Hawerchuk in his prime. 100 Things Jets Fans Should Know Do Before They Die reveals the most critical moments and important facts about past and present players, coaches, and teams that are part of the storied history that is Jets hockey. Whether you're a die-hard fan from the Bobby Kromm days or a new supporter of Paul Maurice, this book contains everything a Jets fan should know, see, and do in a lifetime.

  • Huskies Road to Allan Cup Finals Still Ranks As Most Exciting Season
    thecarillon.com HockeyTHURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2019 Comes HomeSPECIAL FEATURE Celebrating Steinbach’s rich hockey history Huskies road to Allan Cup finals still ranks as most exciting season by WES KEATING his weekend Steinbach will be one of the 25 stops on the Rogers Hometown Hockey cross-country tour. TThe community will host a two-day hockey celebra- tion that includes live entertainment and hockey-themed activities for the whole family. The event finishes up with an outdoor viewing party of a National Hockey League broadcast, hosted live by Ron Ma- cLean and Tara Slone on Sportsnet. As part of that Hometown Hockey Night broadcast, Steinbach will be profiled and local hockey stories will be shared. With that in mind, Carillon Sports Editor Terry Frey and former Carillon staffer Wes Keating have dipped into the archives to share a few hockey memories with readers this week. At the top of the list is the oft-repeated story of the Stein- bach Huskies and their amazing spring of 1979 Allan Cup run, which still remains, after 40 years, Steinbach’s most exciting month-long hockey event for players, fans and media alike. Since a Manitoba Junior Hockey League franchise re- turned to the community in 2009, the Pistons have been creating a growing, renewed hometown excitement for the game in Steinbach, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the glory days of senior hockey’s Steinbach Huskies during that amazing 1978-79 season. When the playoffs come around, fan frenzy for the junior hockey team nearly reaches the peak (but only nearly) of the excitement the Steinbach Huskies generated in a Cin- derella season that carried them all the way to the Allan Cup finals in Sarnia, Ontario, 40 years ago.
