Winnipeg Free Press : Jets come home!
Statements from team GM CR
"First off, I have to thank the IHL board of govenors and especially the commisioner Puckguy for encouraging and helping to make this happen. Manitoba and Winnipeg are filled with passionate fans and we are thrilled for them to have their team back."
"I would also like to extend a thank you to the fans and sponsors in Arizona, we intend to play a preseason game at Jobing.com areana to give the fans a proper thank you and chance to say goodbye."
After finishing last in the league in attendance the writing was on the wall for the Coyotes franchise. True North Sports and Entertainment headed by Toronto billionaire David Thompson seized the oppurtunity to purchase the team struggling to survive $$ wise despite putting a good product on the ice.
"This is a great day for hockey in Manitoba, the Memorial Cup is set to kick off in Brandon and the F&*kin Jets are back baby" said an unamed fan
GM CR can also be herd today on Hockey Central @ noon with Kypreos and Maclean at 1:40pm
