Bisons’ Goalie skips class to fill in at Jets Practice

Winnipeg Jets netminder Chris Mason was out of town today to be with his wife for the birth of their child, putting the Jets in need of a goaltender for practice. Currently, there are only two goalies on the Jets roster, and anyone who has grown up playing minor hockey knows that having two goalies for practice is essential–paging Mr. Sieve.

In need of a goalie, Assistant GM and Director of Hockey Operations Craig Heisinger put out the call to Manitoba Bisons goalie Joe Caligiuri (brother of Jets Communications Coordinator Christina Caligiuri) to be the team’s second goaltender for practice today at MTS Centre.

The 22 year old certainly did not mind skipping his geography class to participate in practice with some of the best hockey players in the world.

if they ever get down to desperately needing a tender, my rec team goalie will definately suit-up!! he may be slow, he may be fat, but hes reliable! lol

Joe Caligiuri! Haven't heard that name for awhile. I used to watch him play for the Prince George Cougars. He didn't do that well, but I guess not many Cougar goalies do.

I'd definitely give it a shot! Only played street hockey goalie, but I would be great for boosting the shooters' confidence!!!
