While I suspect he would prefer to take some time and enjoy some ice fishing the Jets defenceman has been chosen to represent the team at the 2015 All-Star game in Columbus later this month. This is the third straight* time (2011, 2012 and 2015) that he has been named to the team.

Winnipeg Sun: Byfuglien named all-star.

Winnipeg Free Press: Byfuglien – our man at the All-Star game.

Hear his thoughts on being named to the All-Star team:

Dustin Byfuglien – His thoughts on being named to the All-Star team. On being added as a defenceman. Didn’t get to go last time due to injury, does it mean more that he can go this time around? Does it give him extra pride being named as a defenceman even though he’s only played defence for last six weeks.

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.
