It’s January 2016 and Winnipeg Jets co-owner Mark Chipman is doing a Q&A session at the annual Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters dinner.
Chipman gets to talking about the brass-knuckle business that is pro hockey. "It’s a beautiful game and that’s the best part of it. But the business of professional hockey is challenging, it’s tough," Chipman tells the crowd.
