The Winnipeg Jets established a new team with their existing AHL franchise in St-John’s, Newfoundland in 2011-12. The St-John’s IceCaps were a brand new team (even though the franchise moved from Winnipeg) since all of the players belonged to the Vancouver Canucks parent club. The team had a winning season, went far in the playoffs, and were loved by the Newfoundland and Labrador fans. With the St.John’s IceCaps being the primary farm team for the Winnipeg Jets, I thought it would be useful to review how the IceCaps did in their second season as a new team and track how many of those players contributed to the Winnipeg Jets in 2012-13. # Name Pos GP Min GA SO GAA W L SOL SA SVS SAV% NHL GP NHL SA 1 Eddie Pasquale G 43 2452:57:00 114 4 2.79 15 23 4 1223 1109 0.907 * 2 Chris Carrozzi G 3 150:10:00 7 0 2.8 1 1 0 58 51 0.879 3 Mark Dekanich G 35 1913:47:00 95 2 2.98 16 14 1 909 814 0.895 * 4 Juho Olkinuora G 1 59:29:00 3 0 3.03 0 1 0 25 22 0.880 Empty Net 37:57:00 13 13 * indicates Rookie […]

When True North brought the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg, they had a problem with finding a place where to place their other hockey team, the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. Winnipeg would not be able to support both the Jets and the Moose. True North made the decision to place the franchise in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The team was renamed the IceCaps. But because the Manitoba Moose were affiliated with the Vancouver Canucks, none of the players would automatically follow the franchise to St. Johns. It was an example of a franchise but not the team moving cities. True North had to quickly start putting players in uniform, many from their Atlanta draft picks, but also a few free agent signings. It would be a new team in a new city for an old franchise. Because the St.John’s IceCaps are the primary farm team for the Winnipeg Jets, I thought it would be useful to review how the IceCaps did in their first season as a new team and track how many of those players contributed to the Winnipeg Jets in 2011-12. # Name Pos GP Min GA SO GAA W L SOL SA SVS SAV% NHL […]

The Jets are holding their Prospects Training Camp today. Related to that is how well Winnipeg Jets Management have done with cultivating a pool of viable prospects. The Winnipeg Jets conducted their first draft (June 24-25, 2011) within a month of moving the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg (May 31, 2011). Now two year later in 2013, we are starting to see some improvement in the future prospects of the Jets. This blog post summarizes the work of Corey Pronman of HockeyProspectus.com who has completed an evaluation of all NHL prospects. By focusing on the Jets prospects standings for the last two years and player performance stats, I can provide a final evaluation about where each Prospect from 2011 stands in 2013 in making the Jets. Note that the stats for each league is combined regular season and playoffs games. Next year, I will do the same process, but it will be years 2012 to 2014. The Jets have been getting better according to Corey Pronman. In 2011, the Jets were ranked 29 out of 30 teams. In 2012 they moved up six positions to be ranked 23 of 30 teams. And in just this year, they moved up an astounding […]
