“I just love the community for these teams, and like every day after the Jets have been winning then I go to school and talk to my teacher and all of my classmates about it and it’s been really fun,” said Darrin Gray, Bombers & Jets Super Fan.
Shaun Gray, Darren’s father adding, “That focus and that shared experience we have, both the bombers and the jets games the crowds are electric.”
Shaun and his son Darren have been lifelong Bombers and Jets fans, and say it’s been so much fun experiencing both team’s success alongside the Winnipeg Sports Community, and they have high hopes for the Bombers postseason.
“It’s another cup experience to make it 5 in a row, and let’s cap it with a win this time,” said Shaun.
Darrin adding, “I love watching knowing that if we’re down, we can still come back because we’re a good team right now and good teams find ways to win.”

The Gray’s are just one of many Winnipeg families who share a passion for the Bombers and Jets. The Early family says this has been one of the best years to watch their favourite teams compete.
“The sports universe just could not align any better than it could ever possibly could for a Winnipeg sports fan,” said Brent Early.
Breanna Price adding, “It’s definitely contagious, I feel like wearing my jersey every time there’s a game on now.”
The Division Finals at Princess Auto Stadium are set for November 9th, with the Bombers taking on the winner of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and BC Lions. Meanwhile, over at Canada Life Centre, the Jets look to continue their win streak against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.
