Superheroes of the NHL: Winnipeg Jets fans!

Winnipeg Jets fans have gone through an emotional rollercoaster over the past two decades. 15 years were faced without a team to get them back for a 37-35-10 record in their inaugural season.

Friendly “Center of the Universe”

I had the awesome opportunity last week to head to Toronto to see the Leafs host the Winnipeg Jets at the ACC. And while I had predicted a win against Toronto in the last Jets hockey podcast, that wasn’t the case. In fact, I don’t recall much of the game because of the great conversations [...]
