The Manitoba Moose will begin a new season on Oct. 12 — their 25th since coming to Winnipeg for the 1996-97 International Hockey League season — with an interesting mix of promising high-round draft picks, still-young returnees, and veterans.
The Manitoba Moose have officially parted ways with Kristian Reichel as Adler Mannheim of the DEL locked up the forward to a three-year contract. Reichel, a non-drafted Jets prospect, has spent the past six years in Winnipeg.
