Pierre-Luc Dubois first media availability as a member of the Winnipeg Jets

It has been a whirlwind 24 hours for newest Jets centre Pierre-Luc Dubois who was traded on Saturday morning, hopped on a plane to Winnipeg later in the day and is now in quarantine.  He spoke this morning.  I’m posting the audio for now (with French questions edited out) and have posted the video (with French questions) as well.

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.
