Manitoba Moose

The Manitoba Moose are a Canadian professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba that played in the International Hockey League from 1996–2001 and the American Hockey League from 2001–2011 and are scheduled to return for the 2015–16 season. The team, founded as the Minnesota Moose in 1994, relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1996, and then to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011 to become the St. John's IceCaps. In 2015, True North Sports & Entertainment relocated the team back to Winnipeg to decrease travel time for prospect call-ups to the team's parent club, the Winnipeg Jets.
