In the immortal words of “Stompin’” Tom Connors, the good ol’ hockey game is the best game you can name. It’s entirely possible that there isn’t a city across the globe where you’ll find more truth in that statement than in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
On May 31, 2011, the executive chairman of True North Sports + Entertainment Mark Chipman announced to Winnipeg that the city’s beloved Jets would return to the NHL.
After building on the success of the Manitoba Moose (1.0), the resurrection of the Winnipeg Jets breathed new life into the city and has opened countless previously locked doors for Winnipeg and Manitoba.
Join us as we sit down with Mark Chipman for a ‘Fireside Chat,’ and reflect on everything from the impact the Jets and Moose continue to have on Winnipeg’s economy, to the ‘business’ of hockey; managing the expectations of a passionate fan base, and keeping the multitude of True North’s stakeholders engaged.
