Hey there, time traveller!

There’s rarely a dull moment when it comes to the Winnipeg Jets.
And now you have another way to keep tabs on what’s happening with the local hockey club. Say hello to The Morning Skate, a video blog from Free Press sports columnist and Jets beat writer Mike McIntyre.
We dropped the puck on the new feature today with a dispatch from Bell MTS Iceplex, where the Jets officially kicked off the 2019-2020 season with the start of training camp. And what a day it was.
From Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor both missing from the roster due to prolonged contract disputes, to the surprise announcement of veteran defenceman Dustin Byfuglien being granted an indefinite personal leave of absence, there seemed to be more focus on who wasn’t on the ice than who was.
Mike will be filing regular installments while covering the Jets both here at home and on the road. Expect to go beyond the headlines for additional stories, anecdotes and insight surrounding the Jets and the NHL. He’ll also be joined by some special guests along the way.
It’s already shaping up to be a most interesting season, and we’re excited to have you join us on the journey.
Watch the first episode below, then catch the latest Morning Skate at winnipegfreepress.com/morning-skate.
Mike McIntyre is a sports reporter whose primary role is covering the Winnipeg Jets. After graduating from the Creative Communications program at Red River College in 1995, he spent two years gaining experience at the Winnipeg Sun before joining the Free Press in 1997, where he served on the crime and justice beat until 2016. Read more about Mike.
Every piece of reporting Mike produces is reviewed by an editing team before it is posted online or published in print — part of the Free Press‘s tradition, since 1872, of producing reliable independent journalism.
