History

In 1996 the Minnesota Moose moved north from St. Paul, Minnesota to fill the vacated Winnipeg Arena, becoming the Manitoba Moose. At the time, they were a member of the IHL, and enjoyed moderate regular season and playoff success under head coach and former Winnipeg Jets player Randy Carlyle.
When the IHL folded, the Manitoba Moose joined the AHL and became the official farm team of the Vancouver Canucks. Upon joining the AHL, former Canuck player Stan Smyl became the Moose coach. However, he was later replaced by Carlyle. Carlyle soon acquired a job with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, and Alain Vigneault was hired for one season, before himself being called up to the Vancouver Canucks. Recently, Scott Arniel, himself a former Winnipeg Jet and Manitoba Moose, was hired as head coach.
In November 2004, the Manitoba Moose unveiled their new logo, and officially opened the new downtown arena in Winnipeg known as the MTS Centre. The National Hockey League player lockout and subsequent cancellation of the NHL season
