Confirmed with Link: Bryan Little 1 day contract to be honored vs pens Oct 20

[Jets 31]

Little played PP , PK and alot of minutes and did it all very well. Good on the Jets to do this.

Career ended way to early still had more to give and he deserves to have this moment.

 

[JetsFan815]

This is great news.

I thought he was universally well regarded here.

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

Damn Ehlers. Just kidding before people freak-out on me.

Ya that was brutal, Maurice having to go to Finland in the off season to talk to Laine about playing with Little was awful.

It's really to bad that it happened the way it did I'm sure it weighed on Nik for a while maybe still does.

 

[AlaskaJet]

I am

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..

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

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

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)

Just stay away from the Jock straps, especially Evander Kanes

It'd probably be too small for me anyways.

Maybe the waistband

 

[spiny norman]

Lucky me, I'll be at the game, too.

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.

 

[ps241]

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 alway 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.

Very true and your first comment made me laugh out loud.

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.
