Winnipeg Jets Announce Minor League Affiliate for 2024-25

This announcement comes after a successful inaugural season of their affiliation, where all three teams made it to the playoffs together.

During the 2023-24 season, several Manitoba Moose prospects
contributed to the Admirals success.

There was the stellar pay of goaltender Thomas Milic had an impressive record of 11-3-2 with a 2.45 goals-against average (GAA) in 18 appearances for Norfolk. His standout performance earned him a spot at the 2024 ECHL All-Star Classic in Savannah, GA. Following his standout season with the Moose, Milic signed an entry-level contract with the Jets on May 3.

Other Winnipeg prospects, such as Oskari Salminen and Dmitry Kuzmin, also played key roles for the Admirals last season. Salminen, who appeared in 12 games as goalie, posted an 8-2-1 record with a 2.82 GAA. Notably, he even made history by becoming the second goaltender in Admirals' history to score a goal, accomplishing this feat against the Atlanta Gladiators on March 29.

The extended affiliation promises continued development and success for these young players as they work towards their NHL aspirations and maybe even becoming future Winnipeg Jets fan favorites.
