Winnipeg Jets schedule has been officially released for the 2013 NHL season

For the past week, Winnipeg Jets‘ fans have collectively anticipated the release of the 2013 NHL schedule. With bated breath we pined for the NHL Board of Governors and NHL Player’s Association to ratify the newly fashioned Collective Bargaining Agreement that — once completed — would officially spell the return of NHL hockey to thirty fortunate North American cities.

Well Jets' fans, that day has finally come. Earlier tonight the NHL and NHLPA agreed on an Memorandum of Understanding, meaning league becomes fully operational at midnight EST.

So without further ado, here is the complete Winnipeg Jets schedule for the 2013 season.
