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.

Lots covered in this chat. Worth noting he was injured during training camp (Oct 7th) sustaining a lower-body injury which was a 6-8 week recovery timeline so he has yet to play a game.

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.
