Are you sure about the coincide part? From my read it sounds like they'd want to share infrastructure costs to expand the stadium but 8000 seats.

Other than that if anyplace screams outdoor hockey to me it's Winnipeg, although if they get a 40km wind the day of the game I'll surely chuckle.

When I say coinside, I mean that they are going to try and get the Grey Cup game close to the same time and yes, would share some costs.

Actually, my rep from Winnipeg is in our office today. For some reason he's pretty confident that Winnipeg will get the Grey Cup in 2015.

In any event the game will happen, they just haven't figured on a date yet.

Okay, NOW the Jets actually have incentive to not suck.

Cheveldayoff, you're officially on the clock.

Again, I am going by what my rep from Winnipeg, who has season's tickets to the Jets is also telling me, but yes they are scheduled in February for now, but he tells me that could change.

Who knows, we do know there will be a game.
