A weekly lap around the NHL by Free Press hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe
Jordan Martinook is hungry for more.
And who can blame the Brandon-born product? He got the ultimate taste of success last year in the form of a Stanley Cup championship, and he’s now seeking a second serving this season. His Carolina Hurricanes are off to a stellar start, carrying a 6-1-1 record into Canada Life Centre on Saturday afternoon to face the 4-1-2 Winnipeg Jets.
However, in this week’s column, we’re actually talking about food. Martinook has decided to add a little more to his plate by creating a new TikTok series called Meals With Marty in which he takes folks along for the ride as he and his teammates dine around the NHL.
But the Manitoban admits there may be a few more butterflies than usual as he prepares for the ultimate home game — the 2026 Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens.
“This is so exciting to be back,” King, the NHL’s vice-president of hockey operations and facilities operations, said Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s definitely going to be a fun event to be part of.”
