Declan Schroeder
Declan Schroeder is a 23-year-old freelance journalist in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He holds a diploma in Creative Communications with a major in journalism from Red River College. A lifelong Winnipegger, he's deeply rooted in the city's hockey culture. He's been a beat writer for a high school team, a public address guy, a sports columnist for a school newspaper, and written for TSN 1290. The original Jets skipped town when he was only 2, so he latched onto the Maple Leafs pretty hard throughout his childhood and teen years — he's only semi-reformed. It took him a while to warm up to the Jets 2.0, and when the Jets and Leafs play each other these days, he cheers for the game to go to overtime. His favourite player growing up was Darcy Tucker and his favourite player now is Mark Scheifele. An upgrade? You decide.

Jets' 2019 NHL Trade Deadline Assets
February 7th, 2019 The 2019 NHL Trade Deadline is less than three weeks away. Like any NHL team, the Winnipeg Jets have some assets and pieces to offer.

Jets' Roslovic Making the Most of More Minutes
February 4th, 2019 Prior to January, Jack Roslovic spent the majority of his time this season on the Winnipeg Jets' bottom-six, simply as result of the team's riches up front. Logging less than 10 minutes per game, he had limited opportunities to show off his adept passing, elite vision and wicked shot. About a month ago, though, his top-six...
Jets Thriving at Bouncing Back
February 2nd, 2019 The Winnipeg Jets have many assets: a great power play, a good one-two goaltending punch and players with tremendous work ethic and drive. They have another equally important asset, however, that's gone fairly unnoticed: their ability to avoid falling into the prolonged slumps that absolutely deject teams and derail seasons. "Three-Game...
