Students and teachers in Winnipeg and surrounding area can enter for a chance to host a member of the Winnipeg Jets for a classroom visit on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2017.
The winning entries will be chosen based on an entrant's list of top five reasons why a Jets player should read to your class.

Submissions by individual students or as an entire classroom will be accepted starting today until contest closing date on Feb. 3, 2017. Winners will be announced on Feb. 6, 2017.
During school visits, players will be reading the official Winnipeg Jets children's storybook "The Home Team".
