[edit] History

In 1996 the Minnesota Moose moved north from St. Paul, Minnesota, to fill the vacated Winnipeg Arena, becoming the Manitoba Moose. At the time, they were a member of the IHL, and enjoyed moderate regular season and playoff success under head coach and former Winnipeg Jets player Randy Carlyle.

When the IHL folded, the Manitoba Moose joined the AHL and became the official farm team of the Vancouver Canucks. Upon joining the AHL, former Canuck player Stan Smyl became the Moose coach. However, he was later replaced by Randy Carlyle. Carlyle soon acquired a job with the Anaheim Ducks, and Alain Vigneault was hired for one season, before himself being called up to the Vancouver Canucks. Recently, Scott Arniel, himself a former Winnipeg Jet and Manitoba Moose, was hired as head coach.

In November 2004, the Manitoba Moose unveiled their new logo, and officially opened the new downtown arena in Winnipeg known as the MTS Centre.

In the spring of 2009, the Moose played in their first ever Calder Cup Finals against the Hershey Bears. They lost the best of seven series 4-2.

This market was previously served by:

• Winnipeg Jets of the WHA (1972–1979) and the NHL (1979–1996).

[edit] 2008–09 season

In the second round of the 2009 Calder Cup Playoffs the Moose achieved their very first playoff sweep in franchise history, winning the series 4-0 against the Grand Rapids Griffins.

On May 25, 2009, the Moose advanced to the Calder Cup Championship series for the first time, beating the Houston Aeros 3-1 for a 4 games to 2 Western Conference final series victory.

Game 1 of the 2009 Calder Cup Championship series in Winnipeg was sold out with 15,003 fans (largest crowd in Game 1 of the AHL Final history) cheering on the Moose, the Moose ultimately lost the game in overtime to Hershey.

Game 2 of the 2009 Calder Cup Championship series included a Jason Jaffray hat trick. The first on a power play at 7:59 in the second period tying the game at one. The second came with 47 seconds left in the third, being the game winner. His third goal was an empty net power play goal at 19:50. The final attendance was 14,737, a successful first two games for the Moose headed off to Hershey, with almost 30,000 people in attendance.

Games 3 and 4 had two wins for the Bears and only one goal scored by the Moose in the two games by Raymond Sawada. Game 3 was 3-0 and 4 was 2-1. The series was now at 3-1 for the Hereshy Bears

Going into Game 5 the Giant Center was sold out for the third time with 10,860 tickets sold besides the capacity of 10,500. It was the largest crowd in Giant Center history ready to see the Calder Cup. The Moose had something to say about that.

After a goal from Hershey's Graham Mink, an empty net goal by Jason Krog and another Hershey goal with 30 seconds left, the Moose made the series 3-2 going back to the MTS Centre for games 6 & 7.
