The Manitoba Moose are heading back to Winnipeg.
True North Sports and Entertainment has announced the American Hockey League team will be renamed the Moose and will play their home games at the MTS Centre.
Thunder Bay Mayor Keith Hobbs doesn’t see this as a bad sign and hasn’t given up on an AHL team one day coming to his community.
The team was expected to be part of Thunder Bay’s arena and event centre but funding fell through.
A spokesperson for True North says the team is expected to stay in Winnipeg for the foreseeable future and not for a brief interim basis.
