The Athletic Winnipeg: Part 2 of the results from The Athletic’s Winnipeg Jets fan survey. (Paywall – 90 day free option). Murat wraps up the comprehensive survey they took of the fan base who consumes The Athletic.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Andrew Copp’s analytical approach extends to NFL Draft, Tom Brady, MJ vs. LeBron. (Paywall – 90 day free option). No doubt the Michigan man qualifies as one of the more cerebral members of the Jets squad.

The Athletic Winnipeg: The day I got a glimpse of the real Dustin Byfuglien. (Paywall – 90 day free option). Good timing by Kenny considering yesterday was the five year anniversary of this memorable clip.

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.
