There isn’t a more famous sports fan in Manitoba than Dancing Gabe. However, across this great country, many people have yet to have had the opportunity to meet the grooviest guy in Winnipeg. This is your chance to change that. EA Sports has recently released NHL 16 for gaming consoles, much to the delight of many hockey fans. While playing the game, we noticed that “The Green Men”, popular Vancouver fans, have a cameo in the stands. Not to discredit the men in green, but they’re no Dancing Gabe.

Gabe has been around since the first edition of the Winnipeg Jets, while also dedicating his time to our other professional sports teams and their beloved charities. Have “The Green Men” had a book recently written about them? No. But they are wonderful fans that deserve to be showcased in the newest video game, and so is Dancing Gabe.

Just recently, Quinnton Daerden, Steve Rivest and Ethan Patrick, came up with the idea of starting a petition to catch the attention of the folks at EA sports. I’ve been lucky enough to work beside Dancing Gabe, and know this is a brilliant idea, hoping that Winnipeggers and Manitobans would jump on board. So, without further ado, here is the petition. We need as many signatures as we can get, so please share this! Hopefully next year, when we’re playing EA Sports NHL 17, we’ll be able to see Dancing Gabe crank out his air guitar! – Brody Jackson
