REGINA -- The Moose Jaw Warriors announced Jason Ripplinger as the team's next general manager on Thursday morning. “It’s a very exciting for myself and my family, it’s going to be a great future here in Moose Jaw,” Ripplinger said in a media conference Thursday. Ripplinger is being promoted to general manager after serving as the Warriors' assistant GM since 2017. He was shortlisted for the GM position 10 years ago but was beat out by Alan Millar. “I probably wasn’t ready for it but working alongside Alan for the last four years I know I’m definitely ready for it,” Ripplinger said.
