On Monday, it was announced that Rick Bowness would take time away following his wife's seizure. Mark Scheifele, when approached about Bowness and his wife's condition, said:

«It's scary, obviously. All we can do is hope and pray for them (until) obviously they figure it out and get her healthy again. That's all we can do is pray for them and their family and wish them the best."

He added:

"First and foremost, they're amazing human beings and that always comes first," Scheifele said. "Obviously, it's a hockey game, but they're amazing people, amazing human beings, and all you can do is keep praying for them. But they are two amazing people."

Several members from the Winnipeg Jets extended their support to Bowness.

The entire Winnipeg Jets team showcased their solidarity for Rick Bowness during recent interviews. Scott Arniel, who'll be stepping in for Bowness temporarily, said:

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Judy and Rick," associate head coach Scott Arniel, who will take over Bowness's duties in the interim, said. "Very serious and tough time for them right now. We're just waiting, day to day with this and see how she progresses and see how Rick's doing. Everybody is certainly feeling it. It's family here. It's part of what we talk about all of the time.

"It really hits everyone hard."

Jets leader Josh Morrissey added:

"Just thinking about Judy and Bones and their whole family," "Just kind of waiting to hear as we get more information. Certainly big news this morning. It's difficult when a member of our family here goes through something like that. Just praying for Judy and the family and doing our best here at the rink to do what we need to do for Bones."

The Jets, while hopeful for Bowness's speedy return, are prioritizing the health and well-being of the Bowness family above all.
