theScore Podcast: A chat with former Winnipeg Jets assistant coach Todd Woodcroft

theScore’s national hockey writer John Matisz had a chat with former Winnipeg Jets assistant coach and new University of Vermont head coach Todd Woodcroft.

Topics included:

Why Todd left the NHL/Jets for the NCAA/UVM
Short- and long-term challenges for UVM
Lessons learned from old boss Paul Maurice
What ex-Jet Dustin Byfuglien meant to Winnipeg
Patrik Laine’s underrated strength, physicality
Kyle Connor being underrated around the NHL

Some really good Jets talk with the former assistant coach.   Well worth your time giving this a listen.

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.
