As someone that's gone through this i am wishing Judy and Rick Bowness all the best. It's going to be a very tough time for them the next little while that's for sure.

That's scary stuff. Hoping for the best!!
All the best to his wife for a quick recovery and this shows there is much more to life than hockey.

my thoughts and prayers with them now

Does anyone know anything about Judy Bowness? I really don't care to know anything about her recent injury or prognosis, but where is she from? When did her and Rick get married?
Mostly I'm just curious if she's from Winnipeg or not.

Judy is quite averse to publicity. She has shown up at a few of her kids' events but mostly avoids any public appearances. Even their wedding date is unknown.
Judy has three kids: one son works for the Ottawa Senators, their daughter Kristen works for the Nashville Predators, not sure what the other boy does.
A huge family Bowness in the long and winding hockey life
As the Winnipeg Jets were wrapping up their morning skate at Canadian Tire Centre in preparation for Saturday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators, head coach Rick Bowness was proudly gliding around the ice with his two-and-a-half-year-old grandson, Brendan.

He's a very good coach and we are lucky to have him. He meshes perfectly with this roster. When everyone has bought in, it's an absolute joy to watch.figured this may need a bump
I wonder how many more years he has in him though. I thought he was crazy when he said he was coming here to contend for 2 years. Well... here we are.

Wowza. Could be WPGBonus vs Ex-WPGMaurice in the All-Stars.
The quotables will be a 'flyin.
"WIN" lol. "Win-A-Game Jets?"

Amazing how Rick Bowness won over the dressing room and now gets to enjoy his 1st All-Star Game appearance. He has come a long way over almost 40 years in the NHL as a coach.

If the stars align and the Jets somehow win the Stanley Cup I'm betting he retires. While the organization may want him back to defend this hypothetically won Cup I think he decides to go out on a win and spend some much deserved time with his wife and family.

Congrats to Bones, he has done a better job than I thought he would.
Bowness has brought defensive hockey to a team that for a long time didn't have a concept of it before. Also think Arniel is doing a great job especially when Bowness was out for a while this season.

A pint of dark matter, please.
Beautiful work and a lovely recognition for Bowness. He seems to have the rare ability to make both youngsters and vets comfortable. The cohesiveness in the current squad is remarkable, thats not just smoke and mirrors.
Good for him! Happy that he's getting the recognition.

People underestimate how good of a coach he truly is.
He's honestly better than Paul Maurice. Can't bring Claude Noel in the conversation.

He really deserves it
What a career and what a job he’s done with this team.
Here’s hoping he gets the cup he also deserves in 2024 as well…

Which people? According to this poll 90% of respondents from this forum gave him above a B last year, and now he's got the team performing even better.

I thought this article by Murat in the Athletic was excellent:

How Rick Bowness helped revitalize the Jets — and earned a trip to the All-Star Game
With Winnipeg leading the Central Division, Bowness will be a coach at the All-Star Game in Toronto.

There's a very vocal minority of negative posters that make it seem like more people are down on Bones. Most of the 90% of respondents don't post very often, hence the impression that people don't appreciate Bones. Although this year even the pessimists seem to be coming around.
