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.
