Winnipeg Jets unveil new logo inspired by RCAF. It's a a traditional-looking primary insignia of a silver fighter jet viewed from the sky-to-ground angle over top a red maple leaf. Modern and clean looking. Could have been worse. Still love the old logo though. The team's website now proclaims the Jets as "Fuelled by Passion"

Steven Stamkos ($37.5 million)



TSN (The Sports Network) was showing the 2008 IIHF World Junior Championships on Friday Jan 4/08. Canada beat the U.S.A. 4-1 to advance to the final. To promote the game, they had a these ticket looking giveaways produced. Don't know if they had the whole team as I only got Stamkos, Doughty, Turris and Alzner.  Something different from the collection.

Some more autographed wire photos. This time featuring a star player.  Lafleur as a Nordique and as a Ranger. These may truly be 1/1.

That's all for today. 20 players with today as their birthdate.  I have nothing for them so a hodge podge today.
