Hey there bud! I hear you're a free agent, and you're interested in coming to Winnipeg. You always hear people talking about Winnipeg as the frozen tundra of the North, the coldest place in hockey land. I'll be frank, we wear down jackets year round. It's cold. It's cold as hell. But, what we lack for in hot summer days we make up for in the best damn fans in the entire world!

When I got here, I didn't have a place to stay. Folks lined up on Twitter to offer me a room in their house, recommend hotels, restaurants to check out, local dive bars. I loved my time in Carolina, and I love the fans there, but I'll be damned if the fine folks of Winnipeg aren't the most accommodating and honest folks in the entire world.

I wish I could sell you on other stuff around the city, I really do, but I'm as new to the city as you will be. The hospitality has blown anything I've ever seen out of the water, and I hope you'll find the same thing. If you need a place to stay, I've got a room for you.
