OT: Winnipeg Ice Thread

[jefferoni]

How can you secure season tickets? I was looking on their site and couldn't find it

Season Seat Deposit

 

[jetsforever]

Almost sold out and there will be a wait list

Wow, surprised at the reception

 

[lanky]

Have they told the depositors what the seats will cost yet?

 

[Jet]

Have they told the depositors what the seats will cost yet?

Not entirely sure - but I think they would.

 

[Jet]

So, they can treat their STH like **** too, then?

Haha it's such a successful model in Winnipeg

 

[Daximus]

They should have an interesting young team to watch next year. Connor McClennon should be highly rated next draft. Got a big boy in Anson McMaster who should play full time this year. Owen Pederson had a solid 16 year old season. Lambos ,Prososky and Bruce should be playing full time as 16 year olds.

I wouldnt be shocked to see them draft a Euro or 2 that the Jets have drafted

I wouldn't be shocked to see them work closely with the Jets. It seems a lot of NHL teams have a strong connection to certain CHL franchises. Tampa has a real strong connection with Moose Jaw. Drafting Point, then Howden and telling them to take Sosunov in the import draft. The Jets have a bit of a connection with Kelowna and Barrie it seems. A lot of CHL teams keep in regular contact with NHL GM's and staff for guidance from what I've heard.

The Kootenay Ice won their last home game.

Fettes better change the logo and team name.

NOT the Warriors. blech.

I think it was reported that logo stays same and team called Winnipeg Ice.

it...is not a good name or logo.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I think those colours look great

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I just wonder this because I think from what I recall this new rink is going to have a practice rink in the arena so that when away teams come that the Ice will take over the second rink so away teams have the main rink.

But also made me wonder if it'd also be home to the Winnipeg Blues after Below 50 bought them. It'd also make me wonder who'd take over the BMTS IcePlex, maybe another MJHL team comes to the Winnipeg area in possibly a new arena. But it'd be cool if an MMJHL expansion team played in that rink too.

Hopefully they consult you to make sure you're happy with it.

i mean, i am the handsome voice of reason, so you'd have to be daft to ignore what i say

The Ice?

Stupid

 

[Gil Fisher]

Ice won the lottery and will draft 1st in the Bantam draft.

 

[jefferoni]

Ice won the lottery and will draft 1st in the Bantam draft.

And 9th too...

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Ice won the lottery and will draft 1st in the Bantam draft.

So, who might they pick now that Savoie is going the NCAA route? Kinda takes the shine off winning the lottery, methinks losing out on a "generational player".

 

[None]

It's too bad that Savoie was denied exceptional status, that would've made an interesting story.

He's still guaranteed to get picked, right? It's just a matter of where teams are comfortable taking the risk that he never plays in the CHL now, rather than being a lock as a top pick.
Maybe a team like Portland gives him a wink and a nudge and he ends up there.

 

[HPsauce]

Curious about who the Ice will draft first overall. I'll admit I've never really followed CHL hockey that closely, mostly just check up on Jets prospects.

Going to be very intrigued to see what the game play will be like.

Yeah exactly. I might be inclined to take a shot at Savoie 1st since they've also got the 9th pick. Now I'm even more bummed out that Savoie was denied exceptional status.

Edit: Draft him 1st, and if he wants to play in the WHL for a certain team... get a king's ransom from that team.

God, it's getting to be like being a CFL GM.

[Cellee]

Having the team start out with Savoie would have been pretty damn cool.
