Extended Minuk Moose Minute with Winnipeg Jets prospect Jacob Julien

Video Description:
We sat down with Jets 2023 5th rounder Jacob Julien on Moose production day to give you some insight into the forward who turned pro this season, coming off winning a Memorial Cup with his hometown London Knights.
