Winnipeg Jets v1.0: Where are they now?
- Thread starter HannuJ
- Start date
He was a nice guy the past few years when he was working at Assiniboine Golf Club. Treated my senior citizen mom and her friends very well when they golfed each Wednesday.
I had a good conversation with him at the Ralph a couple years back when he was there to watch UND and I was there with DU alumni to watch the Pioneers lay a smackdown on the Sioux. Nice guy then too.
When he played in the MJHL for the Saints and my buddies played for the Blues they didn't really care for him.
did his voice ever recover?
Romaniuk didn't seem to have any voice issues when I spoke with him. As for Manson I don't know but believe it was permanent damage to his larynx.

Well on the positive side, he did nearly get into a fistfight with Sean Avery a decade ago, when Avery played for the Kings.

Wow.
I first stopped in his shop across from Polo Park in Grade 9. That was late 1990.
When I was in university we managed to get tickets for about 10 guys about 10 rows or so behind the Jets bench. For whatever reason, we decided to cheer like madmen for Borsato. We would cheer when he touched the puck, we'd scream for him to be on during powerplays and penalty kill.
It was one of my fun memories of the 1.0 games I attended. I wonder if he remembers that game....he looked back at us and smiled quite a few times....and you could see other Jets asking him if we were his friends or family.
Good times
Didn't russ Romaniuk break his hand trying to fight three guys at a red light? Right in the middle of the season too I think....

This is a great thread to help TNSE track down Jets 1.0 players when they do an alumni game (at some point) for the Heritage Classic. 
That's hilarious
I used to work with someone here in Ottawa who knew him well.... their sons played hockey together.
He is the nicest, most soft-spoken guy you'll ever meet apparently, but as we all know he was an absolute terror on the ice.

Maybe the funniest part about this as it relates to Boschman is that he was/is a devout Christian, quite the dichotomy.
He runs an organization called Hockey Ministries International, training kids on how to dirt bag the opposition and then make peace with the Lord later

So when people say Luongo was the only goalie captain, we do have another example...

Randy Gilhen - sells surgical equipment, apparently? Pretty sure he still lives in Winnipeg, I was lab partners with his daughter when I went to U of M.
Tim Cheveldae - a firefighter in rural Saskatchewan. I barely recognized him in his picture.

Aside about Cheveldae: in the Jets v1.0 final season, my Atom AA team was selling 50-50 tickets at a game. It was actually the one vs. Edmonton where Deron Quint scored the quickest two goals in NHL history. Our team was standing in the tunnels of the arena about 2 hours before the game, and the "Original" Chevy walks by.
My teammate: Hey Chevy, you starting tonight?
Cheveldae: Yep.
Teammate: Aww, we're gonna lose tonight!
Looking back, he was a really good sport about it, just laughed and shook his head.

a dozen years ago living in NC I went to quite a few Greensboro Generals games. He was already retired and running his fishing outfit 90 miles north of there, but they called him out of retirement for a few games when they had injury problems. I just about spat out my beer when they announced him as the starting goalie one night.
