Schenny has been amazing so far for the Jets. Really excited to see the boys in action in the playoffs soon. GO JETS GO.
Schenn has been a perfect addition to the D in wpg
My family and I attended the first Jets morning skate he was a part of. Said hello and welcomed him to Winnipeg. Boom! Game-used stick comes over the glass for my nephews! Lifelong impression made!
Big Jets fan and Winnipegger here. I have really enjoyed his game with our team, he fits well with the boys. Loving his passion and what he brings to the ice and team. Welcome Luke! Here's to many wins and fun games and good times to come. Praying your family stays strong during the time apart, and finds comfort in our city when they come. Glad Shiefe has been a good host. ❤
Luke you beauty! Loving you in the Peg. Keep trucking those fools that come down your wing.
Luke is a beast and a great addition to the Jets. Hope he sticks around for a while! Jets need that sandpaper/experience he offers.
Remember when he was in Philadelphia with his bro nothing but respect awesome hockey player
