Sports & Athletic Culture
Winnipeg is home to the NHL's Jets, the CFL's Blue Bombers, and a passionate grassroots sporting culture in hockey, ringette, and curling. Manitoba's flat terrain makes it a hub for competitive cycling and running, while the province's lake-country geography supports paddling and fishing-related athletic activity. Winter sport injuries — particularly from hockey and skiing — are the most common presentations at Manitoba sports clinics.
