EDMONTON — Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler – never one to shy away from an on-ice battle — took the fight to Twitter on Saturday to speak out against U.S. president Donald Trump.
In the process, the Minnesota native appears to have gone where no other pro hockey player has publically ventured to date.
Wheeler, who uses the handle @BiggieFunke, fired off a pair of short, pointed messages as part of an ongoing controversy between Trump and a growing chorus of other pro athletes.
