WINNIPEG -He has no shortage of things to do, but Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice is making sure hockey isn't the only thing he's focused on with the regular season paused.
"Everything in every closet in my house is perfectly organized," Maurice said with a grin on Thursday.
"For the most part, after about the third or fourth day we were at home, we all realized it was a pretty serious event. (I'm doing) all the basic things - taking care of your family, making sure you're doing all the things you're supposed to do to stay well - then you're branching out on projects."
However, his job as an NHL head coach still takes up the majority of Maurice's time. He said he's in touch with at least one member of his coaching staff every day. There are a number of things to consider, including what practice sessions will look like should play resume.
