Manitoba Moose 2.0: AHL in Winnipeg 2015-16

[WaveRaven]

I'm disappointed they didn't use this as the logo.

 

[JC Numminen]

Love the logo. Not sure how I feel about the jerseys. They just look.. awkward? Not sure what it is, but looks like they ripped the Jet logo off a jersey and stuck the Moose logo on. Was hoping for a little re-design. I'll probably still buy one though.

As for the team, I am super excited to have them back. Hoping they can get something like a Jets game on a Friday night, then a Moose game the next afternoon. Would definitely come in and stay in Winnipeg and do both.

Go Moose go!

It makes me think on how the attendance will work.

I think some people will cancel their Jets season tickets and others will get them, so theres no loss there.

But if this was just the return of the Moose, it would get 5-6,000 people. But because its our AHL team for our NHL team this time I say they might have to open the upper deck for some games. So I think at least 7,500 would be our average attendance.

I don't see one single person cancelling their Jets tickets for the new Moose team.

I can arguably see there being more interest than before, since the fans can see their favorite players develop, and join the NHL Jets. With the Moose 1.0, we had to watch the best and most talented Moose players leave Winnipeg.

Or, I wonder if they'd ever consider doing a double-header: Moose in the afternoon, Jets in the evening.

That would be awesome. But I cannot see it. They would have to get everyone out, clean the building up, and get it ready for the Jets game. And I am not sure how great the ice would be after all of that.

Could maybe do it every once and a while though. Moose at 1 and Jets at 7:30?

Old moose jersey >>>>>> Blue moose.. Using the Jets colours for the Moose logo just doesn't work for me.

Moose game is over at 3:30, 4pm? Gives them 3 hours to clean the building up? It sounds do-able to me (but of course what do I know).

Doesn't give a whole heck a of a lot of time for pre-game skates for either team though. How long do those usually last anyways?

"I'll just re-do the Moose logo in Jets colours and put it on a Jets jersey" he said, "it'll look great" he said.

I've created a monster.

DO YOU WORK AT TNSE... You let the cat out of the bag early!!

On a side note im gonna try to get 4 tickets in second 112 or 113 down at the glass on pre-sale Wednesday.. I have a bunch of family friends who come to jets games with me but want to bring their kids to hockey. So they are splitting it with me. Perfect price point if you ask me.

 

[DominikPavelec]

I would have loved to see them go back to the original colours. As an old Moose fan those Jets colours on the jerseys just looks odd.

Glad the Moose are back! Going to definitely check out some games.

I believe due to ice conditions the NHL prohibits such a setup....maybe an afternoon Jets game with an evening Moose game but thats the only option


I wasn't a fan of the old forest color theme moose jerseys and like these better....

They've even played basketball in the afternoon and hockey at night many times in some arenas. There's no NHL rule preventing it. I don't think it's something TNSE are actively seeking to do though.

I saw the announcement on fb this morning. Quite a few people who can't afford Jets season tickets are miffed that Jets sths get first dibs on Moose season tickets. What do you guys think? Is there a real threat of jets sths snapping up most of the tickets in the presale?

I don't see it myself. Are there really that many people out there who think 41+ games of hockey per winter are not enough, and want to watch another 38+ games?

I think you can make a case for and against.

True North is being fairly consistent as they are rewarding loyalty again (as they did giving Moose seat holders the vast majority of Jets season tickets).

LOL! Thankfully theirs looks a whole lot better than my monstrosity.

There's no way Jets STH can go to every single game between the Jets and Moose. Lots of Moose tickets will be resold throughout the year in the off chance Jets STH snatch all the Moose tickets.

If there's anyone out there who wants my pre-sale Moose access I'm happy to let them use it. I'll likely take in a few Moose games with the kids but I'd have no way to make a ST investment worthwhile.

Not really a fan of the blue tinted logo, I'm not going to complain though.

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully it works out well. It's really nice to see an affordable pro hockey option in Winnipeg now. I know that if I was a student there I'd be taking advantage of it.

There is no threat from me buying any, I am planning on doing walk-ups for some games but that's it. I imagine there will be lots of Moose ticket packs available for the public sale.

There is no reason to get miffed, they offered former Moose STH (which I was not) first dibs on Jets tickets back in 2011 and I thought that was more than fair.

Are the wait list people also getting a pre-season sale? It's only fair that they get first shot also, some have waited for years now

Yep. I think P1 is tomorrow (?) and then P2-P7 plus wait list is on Wednesday.

Thunder Bay lost the federal funding they were asking for to build the new facility. The Feds said they will not give any money to anyone trying to build a facility for a professional hockey team.

I did not know this.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Yeah I have the Wednesday pre-sale
