Winnipeg Jets 2017 Fifth Round Draft Pick (136th overall): Leon Gawanke

The Jets run on defence continues.  Gawanke is a 6’1″ right shooting D man out of Germany.  He played 54 games with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QMJHL where he had eight goals and 24 assists.

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.
