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 Monday, Feb. 5, 2018.

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. Contest submissions can be made by visiting
