I am :sarcasm:

There was plenty of hate directed towards Little by our Finnish friends during Laine's time here
Avgard Hockey Professor certainly took the cake in that department, I’m glad not all of Finland or Thunder Bay followed him off the ledge in that regard..
‘Might have been a lemming thing going on there..

In 2018, I bought a Bryan Little game used hockey stick from the Bell MTS Jets Store.

It might be sacrilege, but "Old Faithful" has been good to me over my 6 years in Beer League.

During that time, I've amassed a respectable 12 Goals, 23 Assists and 725 Penalty Minutes in that time frame, and I owe it all to Bryan.


Pro-Tip For Anyone on a Budget:
I highly recommend buying used equipment from the Jets Store.

The Bauer Nexus stick would have run me $399.00 at Royal Sports, but for some reason an NHL Game Used stick only cost $169.00 at the Jets store.

Just stay away from the Jock straps, especially Evander Kanes ;)

This is great news.



Lots of criticism when he played about his size and later for "not being a true 2C" when Laine showed up.

I remember quite a bit of criticism in the first season or two that he wasn't a true 1C also.

All through there seemed to be some fans who thought he was good but just not quite good enough. But I think many who doubted him initially came around once they got to know him better.

Bryan Little was always able to get more done on the ice than a guy with his size and skill-set ought to have. Incredible work ethic and hockey sense

Wasn't big, wasn't super fast, didn't have a cannon of a shot. I'm hoping Yager turns into a version of him (I think Yager may have a better shot/release)

Part of the meant-to-be-a-Jet club. For those who don't know what that is it's Jets players who were meant to play here even when we were without a team. I like to imagine those players would play here either way.

Joins Keith Tkachuk, Burmistrov, Jokinen, Andrew Ladd and co. Wheeler counts too as he was drafted by the Coyotes.

One of the more underrated players we ever had. Little caught way too much shit from this board over the years.

Great player. Happy to see him retire a Jet.

He caught too much shit from a group of ass hats that invaded our board and were never Jets fans. f*** them

Little was always fine in my books. Would be the exact kind of #2 centre we could use now. Puts up respectable points and actually plays good defense against the best players.

Class act and I am really glad he is getting his night.

Yup he was a prime example of mind over body.

I think he had sneaky skill, not flashy. He had a fantastic hockey mind and the tools to execute on what that mind was processing.

He was one of those guys that was underappreciated because a lot of what he did, while important, wasn't glamorous.

He was the jet I have most selfies with. I'm sure he thought I was stalking him 🤣

Awesome stuff! Been waiting to see if/when they would do that. Love Bryan Little. One of my all time favorites. Man could we use a center like him right now.
Was just about to say, Little would be an absolutely perfect fit at our 2C spot right about now.

He was so good and impactful in areas beyond goal scoring, but my favourite Litts memory was him scoring the first hatty ever in a Jets home game.
