Winnipeg Jets fans paid tribute to Free Press writer Randy Turner with a moment of silence Thursday night at Bell MTS Place.
Turner, an award-winning writer in sports, news, features and columns for 31 years, died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. He was only 57.
Turner was no stranger to the downtown arena, covering the Manitoba Moose for several seasons.
"He covered the Manitoba Moose closely throughout their first incarnation, developing close friendships at many levels of the organization," said public address announcer Jay Richardson.
