Two days of Winnipeg Jets end of 2024-25 season media availabilities

We kicked off two days of Jets media availabilities on Tuesday beginning with Vlad Namestnikov. We’d speak to seven other players throughout that day. Today, we spoke with another five players as well as head coach Scott Arniel and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.

There’s been lots said and plenty more to parse through but this is your one-stop shop for all of the ones that we did over the past two days.

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Adam Lowry | Cole Perfetti | Gabriel Vilardi | Dylan DeMelo | Dylan Samberg as well as coach Scott Arniel & GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Articles (so far):

Kevin Cheveldayoff met with Nikolaj Ehlers agent; prepared to pitch for him to be a “Jet for life”.

Of course just because the Jets season has concluded doesn’t mean we are going anywhere. The morning papers will be ready to go tomorrow at 7 AM CDT chalk full of news about the NHL club of Winnipeg and we will still be bringing you the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday morning at 9 AM CDT on our YouTube channel (so be sure you’re subscribing) until sometime in July.

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.
