There were wonderful sections of Winnipeg that you could play for New York easy.

Patrick Swayze

When my dad was playing in Winnipeg in '72-I was about 8 years old-he took me to my first outdoor rink in the winter. My feet were so cold, and then it gets even more excruciating once they start to thaw. It was the most excruciating pain I've ever had.

Brett Hull

It's fun to come back to Winnipeg and see a couple of old buddies, ... This night is bringing back some memories.

Coming to Winnipeg had a lot to do with coach Berry being familiar with me. He said I'd have a great opportunity and he got me excited to play again.

Mike Quinn

It's totally different. Winnipeg was my first year skipping. It was kinda 'what's going on.' There was tons of information, strategy sessions.

Debbie Mccormick

I thoroughly enjoyed my 11 years playing for the Winnipeg football club.

We still have franchises in the process of rebuilding. I include Hamilton and Toronto in that group. They're not making a profit yet, but they're going in the right direction. I would say Winnipeg is a sensitive market, too. Our league is stronger than it was '96, '97, '98, '99, but there are still some sensitivities in those three markets.

David Braley

It's a momentous day for the sport and Winnipeg as well. It's history in the making and to have it come from a homegrown talent is just amazing.

Brian Mcconnell

There are a lot of managers in this league that would love to have a veteran presence in their line-up like Harry, especially when he's coming off one of his most productive seasons. I feel very fortunate to have him back and I'm sure the Winnipeg fans feel the same way.

Rick Forney

I'm not saying they didn't want me in Winnipeg or Montreal ... it just seems like they felt I could help them more in Toronto.

Keith Stokes

The players, the committee and everyone was pleasantly surprised at how well it was received. The fans came out in droves, showed that Winnipeg is still a hotbed of curling and we're looking forward to maybe even bigger crowds this year. That would be awesome.

Jeff Stoughton

In my mind, that's just what Winnipeg wrestling is.

Mike Davidson

The number one priority for citizens of Winnipeg is roads and bridges.

Sam Katz

We understand that if we don't take care of our business, Winnipeg is capable of beating us. They've done that.

Don Matthews

Winnipeg has already been there for the league -- in good times and bad. We're back in the East and we've represented the East in five Grey Cups (1988, '90, '92, '93 and 2001). Let's hope history repeats.

Lyle Bauer

We estimate that only Winnipeg and the Atlantic are more affordable than Calgary and Edmonton, but only because home prices in the former two are considerably cheaper than their Alberta counterparts.

Craig Alexander

I remember coming to Winnipeg to play in 2001 and 2002 and how tough it was coming in here to play. When it came time for me to choose a team, it really came down to my desire to be in a football city.

Barrin Simpson

Of course, Winnipeg is still in the mix. Everyone is around the same number (financially), so it's just about the best situation for me. Playing time is the thing.

Keith Stokes

You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.

Stephen Harper

We can look at this as a success. We can definitely expect to back here. Manitoba and Winnipeg are very important markets to us, and the event has a very good chance of growing.

Justin Anderson

There was a lot of advertising for it and a lot of people had heard about it so it was pretty cool. I think my name is now more recognized in Winnipeg, which is nice.

Shannon Rempel

We had a big turnout in Winnipeg but the point of this event is to showcase the Ricoh Coliseum to hockey fans in this city and the rest of Ontario. I think we'll sell out that beautiful building both nights (for the skills competition and game).

Dave Andrews

Obviously, we won't be replicating that, but in our own buildings we should continue to do well. We expect another great year in Winnipeg. The loss of the team in Edmonton will hurt but adding the Toronto Marlies helps offset that. We have four new teams in all so we think we very well might hit (7 million) again.

David Andrews

All orchestras have problems, and I can see it all over Canada. We just bailed out the Winnipeg orchestra, three years ago.

Liza Frulla

We want him to leave the city with a good feeling about Winnipeg.

Kirby Nishikawa

We absolutely loved it in Winnipeg. The people were wonderful, the architecture is wonderful.

Patrick Swayze

I went back to school (Simon Fraser) in '88 to become a certified teacher so I approached Mike Riley, who was the Bombers head coach then because I still had a house in Winnipeg and it was tough always moving my family around. I told him, if it could ever work out, I'd love to come back to Winnipeg. Well, Cal (who had become GM) wasn't ready for it yet.

Rick House

My grandparents, I'm sure, were nervous sitting on the couch watching. And I hear that my dad had some friends over to his house. My sister's in Winnipeg and I'm sure they were all glued to the TV and cheering and sweeping on that last shot.

Sasha Carter

I'll tell you how hard he hits, ... It was the third play of the game last week against Winnipeg, and I was coming to hit (Milt) Stegall myself; Scott missed him and hit me and about knocked me silly for the whole first half.
