Winnipeg Jets defenceman Mark Stuart is headed for wedding vows next summer. His journey there with fiancé Christina Caligiuri is more evidence that love will not be denied.
When the Rochester, Minn., native arrived in the Manitoba capital with the 2011 relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers, he found an unofficial professional boundary, somewhere in the category of office romances. Only it wasn’t exactly an office.
Caligiuri was in the employ of Jets owners True North Sports & Entertainment as a communications co-ordinator with the AHL’s Manitoba Moose and then with the arriving NHL Jets.
