🏒 Game Preview: Jets vs Twins 📅 January 2, 2026 📍 VMSC

The Stonewall Jets return to home ice to open the New Year against the Fort Garry Twins in what should be a structured, competitive matchup. Stonewall comes in playing steady hockey, having picked up points in recent games and showing improved consistency through the middle stretch of the season.

The Jets have been most effective when they keep things simple — playing north-south, getting pucks deep, and generating traffic around the crease. Their ability to roll lines and sustain pressure has led to strong offensive stretches, particularly at home. Fort Garry has battled hard in recent outings but has found it difficult to string results together.

Both teams are expected to keep things tight early, with puck battles and defensive details setting the tone. If Stonewall can control the pace and stay disciplined, they should be able to create enough chances to hold the edge.

A close, workmanlike game with execution and consistency could give the Jets a slight advantage on home ice.
