The Winnipeg Jets have a television deal. So if you have the NHL Center Ice package on your Direct TV or Cable service you “should” be able to see all of the Winnipeg Jets games on TV.
NHL.COM ---- True North Sports & Entertainment, in conjunction with Bell Media, are pleased to announce today they have entered into a 10-year agreement awarding the regional television broadcast rights for the Winnipeg Jets and the radio broadcast rights for the hockey club to Sports Radio 1290.
This deal ensures that ALL 82 Winnipeg Jets home and away games will be available for fans on both national and regional television and radio through to the 2011-12 season.
As part of the agreement, TSN will broadcast more than 60 regional regular season and pre-season games each season to fans in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Northwestern Ontario on the newly launched “TSN Jets” – a part-time television service dedicated to Jets games and launching September 20th.
Dustin Byfuglien’s little run in with the law could prove to be very costly. If Byfuglien is charged and if he is found guilty Byfuglien could have a hard time getting across the border because the Canadians consider DWI to be a very serious offense.
Winnipeg Free Press --- "He's technically not inadmissible into Canada, because he hasn't been found guilty of anything. But they do have the right to refuse. Typically, though, Canadian officials at the Emerson border are very fair, as are those at the Winnipeg airport," Perillo told the Free Press.
Perillo said Byfuglien's life would become much more complicated if he was ultimately convicted. In Minnesota, he could face up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine and a year-long driving suspension. He would then have to apply in writing to the Canadian government for a temporary resident permit to enter the country. If granted, the order would expire after one year.
Byfuglien would have to apply for five consecutive years before he could try to obtain a lifetime pass, said Perillo.
