Hello again, Winnipeg. It’s been a while since I appeared in front of a large audience in the 'Peg. I’m remembering those exciting days as a young player joining the Jets of the World Hockey Association.
Those were heady days, of course, as we won the last Avco Cup championship and were admitted to the NHL all in the space of months. The city was alive and the passionate fan base had lots to savour.
Unfortunately, the greedy NHL owners dismantled that powerful hockey club, allowing GM John Ferguson to protect only two skaters and two goalies.
