Maurice, who led the Panthers to victory last season, spent nearly a decade coaching the Jets before stepping down in 2021. Now, he’ll be on the opposing bench as the high-flying Jets, boasting a league-leading record, challenge the Panthers.

This emotional clash carries extra weight for Maurice, whose family still resides in Winnipeg. While he believes he left at the right time for the Jets to thrive, he openly supports their championship aspirations.

Will Maurice’s Panthers trip up the red-hot Jets, or will Winnipeg continue their dominant run? Catch the exciting two-game series this weekend!
