Excitement can be felt throughout Winnipeg these days as both the Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been dominating.
The Jets are sitting atop the NHL with a record of 15-1 – the fastest a team has ever reached the 15-win mark in league history – and the Bombers are heading to their 5th straight Grey Cup this weekend in Vancouver.
"It's great to be a fan in Manitoba right now," said Bombers fan Sue Henderson.
Henderson has been a season ticket holder since 1985, and she's excited about this era of success for the team.
"They're my life. My emotions are up and down with the Bombers if they win or lose."
But her emotions haven't been down much lately, and the same can be said for Jets fans in the city.
"It's like nothing but good news for us here in Manitoba right now," said Jets fan Janet Stefaniuk. "We're really up there with the competitive sports in the NHL and CFL. So that's pretty awesome."
