In addition Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff spoke both on both days of the draft while Director of amateur scouting Mark Hillier spoke following the conclusion of round 7 this evening.

Illegal Curve Hockey Draft podcasts:

In the interest of time we have edited the podcast to just before the Jets made their selection when we were joined by Craig Button as well as our interview with new Jets prospect Chaz Lucius.

To listen to our podcast from day 1 click here.

Similarly we cut down our day 2 podcast to our chat with Moose bench boss Mark Morrison, the announcement of the 2nd round selection by the Jets, Jets talk with Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun and the announcement of the 3rd round selection by the Jets.

Next up is free agency which gets underway on Wednesday, July 28th.  That will also be our final Illegal Curve Hockey Show of the season which you can watch here.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
