A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
Benny, Mick E., and Icy?

They usually have the role of being an ambassador for the team while entertaining fans, but mascots are usually in a one-to-one relationship with a team. Rarely do we see mascots moving between teams, but there have been a handful who have made the transition from one team to another like Youppi! in Montreal and Sparky the Dragon on Long Island. There is one mascot in hockey, however, who has worked for a number of teams in his career, and one o...
What's the deal with NHL GMs who go from genius to dunce after switching jobs?
Seven years ago, the Red Wings pulled off the near-impossible: They made a move that absolutely everyone loved. Their own fans, who were thrilled. Other fan bases, who were grudgingly jealous. The media. The experts. The insiders. The nerds. All 200 hockey men. Everyone agreed: Hiring Steve Yzerman as GM was a slam dunk. The news landed one Friday morning, somehow both coming out of nowhere while also feeling like we’d known it all along. Of course the captain was coming home. After an apprent...
Oilers pick Andrew Robinson ready for feature role with Windsor Spitfires
Players don’t always develop in a linear path. Sometimes they experience brief setbacks, and sometimes they level up rapidly. Perhaps no prospect in the recent Edmonton Oilers’ draft class understands that better than Andrew Robinson, whom the team selected 133rd overall in the 2026 Draft.

The Final Day
The HBIC Music Festival comes to a close today on this third day of looking at musicians wearing or holding hockey jerseys, and it's a day where every other league outside of the NHL gets to shine. Honestly, if I were a touring musician, I'd want more of these lesser-known teams in my closet because that's the sign of a true hockey fan. In saying that, though, these musicians seen today are doing their part in supporting the lesser-seen teams! Of course, if you know of a band or artist I've mi...

Which draft year makes the best lineup of players traded for first-round picks?
Hidden away on my laptop is a list that’s simply labeled “ideas”. It’s where I keep all those potential columns that I haven’t got around to yet, or in some cases haven’t worked up the courage to try. A lot of them are weird. Some are probably just flat-out dumb. In some cases I’m waiting for some sort of news hook; in others I’m just holding off until Slow News Summer hits its peak. A lot of them just aren’t there yet in terms of supporting a whole piece, but might be some day if I get desper...
