Note:  The Jets 2017-18 season came to a close yesterday afternoon by virtue of their 2-1 loss in game 5 against the Golden Knights.  It has been remarkable season for Winnipeg but one that ends just three wins shy of a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.

Note II:  While the Jets season has ended our coverage of the local team has not.  The team will hold a locker clean out day (expected to be tomorrow but not yet confirmed by the team), we will have coverage of the NHL Entry Draft at the end of June, the opening of free agency on July 1st as well as the Jets Prospect camp in July.  Also remember that the Illegal Curve Hockey Show continues until the end of July.

Note III:  Hopefully you been paying attention to our Instagram account as our photographers have done an amazing job all season long with our coverage of the Jets and Moose.  Check it out here.

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.
