Winnipeg Jets defenceman Nate Schmidt on The Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast

Description: Winnipeg Jets star defenseman Nate Schmidt joins Ray & Dregs this week. The guys talk about Nate’s amazing hockey journey starting off undrafted, playing in Washington, joining Vegas in their expansion season, getting traded to the Jets from the Canucks, and getting to know and bond with his new teammates in the ‘Peg. Nate shares how difficult it was going through the Covid experience with Vancouver last season including the tough schedule coming out of being shut down. He also talks about what it is like being one of the older guys on a fun team that is fully going for it, his pure love of enjoying playing hockey, and much more.

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.
