WE DID IT! Winnipeg Ownership Announces NHL Relocation To Winnipeg! 05/31/11

Thank You So Much To Mark Chipman and David Thomson. Truly great people to look up to and value. They are not only Winnipeg Heroes, they are Canadian Hero's and no amount of Thanks will ever be enough.

To all those who supported the Manitoba Moose organization: I Thank you! Without you, this wouldn't even be something the NHL would have considered. I loved being a Moose season ticket holder, and appreciate everything any Manitoba Moose player accomplished on the ice, as well as off the ice in this Province.

To all Moose employee's, I've gotten to know many of you over the last 15 years, and I cannot say enough about the class and respect you've brought to your organization. The Professionalism could only be compared to those whom work within the NHL & now you've finally earned your tickets to get on the NHL Train which I'm sure will be a long, wild ride.

To all my friends at Jetsowner, what can I say. It's been an absolute pleasure most times talking about the game we all love and, even if talking about "2 weeks" and rumours drove us all to the point of insanity, I appreciate it all and will never forget the excitement that built up year after year and year with of course, May 31st/2011 and the explosion of emotions from everyone that great day.

Cheers everyone: We Did It!
