The colours were right but, truth be told, the logo on the front of the uniforms J.C. Lipon and Scott Kosmachuk modelled Monday was not the one they hope to be wearing next fall.
Lipon and Kosmachuk, two Winnipeg Jets prospects who spent this past season with the St. John’s IceCaps, were tapped on the shoulder Monday to be part of the franchise name and jersey unveiling by the re-born Manitoba Moose. And their first reaction to the new look?
"It’s cool. I used to be a fan of the Moose growing up, being from Saskatchewan," said Lipon.
