[edit] Jets-Canucks conflict

I'm curious to know what the feelings of Winnipegers who were Jets fans in terms of supporting a Canucks minor league team. Does that make a difference to anyone up there? 67.46.0.13 06:12, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official logo

What is the official logo of the Moose? I can't find instances of the full background and "Manitoba Moose" text. All I see is the isolated moosehead version ( like at ahl.com ) or the older cartoony logo. I skimmed through the news archives at theahl.com but didn't see a press release. I'm guessing this was announced sometime last summer. ccwaters 02:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Division title clarification

Oh, I see what our anonymous friend is trying to do. The Moose won the *divisional bracket* in the 2004–05 playoffs.

1) The AHL playoff format is ever changing, and these so-called *division finals* can dissappear as quickly as they came. I'd imagine if and when the AHL finally gets to 30 teams, there will be 6 divisions and a playoff format similar to the NHL.

2) Any team that boasts about a divisional playoff title is really just saying "we lost in the conference final". Will Manitoba be hanging a banner in the rafters for this?

Any input from the crowd? I'm tempted to get rid of the division title listings and just document league titles (regular and playoffs). The AHL and IHL both have had periods where there no divisions or conferences. ccwaters 13:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Media

I'm listing local papers as a resource for wiki users to who wish to find current news coverage of the AHL teams. From what I gather, the Winnipeg Free Press is the main paper in town, but online articles are available to paid subscribers only. That renders that outlet useless for the purposes here. Thus the media conglomerate publication that is the Winnipeg Sun, wins by default. If anyone objects, just voice your feelings here and I won't stand in the way of including the Free Press. Related: If there was an alternative to the Hamilton Spectator I'd list it at Hamilton Bulldogs. ccwaters 14:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Colors

I changed the order of the colors and 'brown' to 'bronze' as the primary jersey is black. The third color is called bronze according to the official site. See: http://www.albanyriverrats.com/news/?id=7264

[edit] Ownership

I note that someone has changed the majority owner to Mark Chipman. That is incorrect. He is - a - owner, but the majority owner is Kevin MacLean of the United States. --68.179.16.113 (talk) 13:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I notice there have been many changes in the ownership. I have removed it entirely. I want someone to provide an accurate source. Flibirigit (talk) 20:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
