Hey there, time traveller!

The Manitoba Moose have added some local flavour to their mix.
A pair of defencemen, Dean Stewart and Dawson Barteaux, have signed one-year deals to play for the American Hockey League squad this coming season.
Both should have no trouble finding their way to the downtown rink.
Dawson Barteaux
Stewart, 25, hails from Portage la Prairie and suited up for 61 regular-season games with the Moose last season. He racked up 18 points (one goal, 17 assists) and was named the club’s rookie of the year.
The 6-2, 201-pound blueliner spent two seasons with the Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League before attending the University of Nebraska-Omaha. He turned pro after four seasons of college and began his career in the ECHL with the Wichita Thunder.
Stewart was drafted in the seventh round by the Arizona Coyotes in 2016 but wasn’t signed by the organization.
Barteaux, 23, is from Foxwarren and joins the Moose after going unsigned by the Dallas Stars, who picked him in the sixth round in 2018.
The 6-1, 190-pound defenceman spent most of last year in the ECHL with the Idaho Steelheads, accumulating 24 points (two goals, 22 assists) in 62 regular-season games and eight points (one goal, seven assists) in 14 playoff games. He also appeared in two regular-season games and five playoff games with the Texas Stars of the AHL.
Barteaux played four full seasons in the Western Hockey League split between the Regina Pats, Red Deer Rebels and Winnipeg Ice before turning pro.
The Moose look to be heavy on Winnipeg Jets prospects this year. Stewart and Barteaux are among just a handful of players signed to AHL-only deals, along with defencemen Jimmy Oligny (team captain) and Simon Kubicek and forwards C.J. Suess and Nicholas Jones.
Manitoba opens the 2023-24 season on Oct. 13 when the Calgary Wranglers visit.
