Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: Happy Canada Day!

Note II: Reminder it is going to be a busy July coming up for Illegal Curve as we conclude the 2021 season.  Our regular Illegal Curve Hockey Show will continue on Saturdays in July at 9 AM. In addition to these shows we will have three extra shows including one with a focus on the Seattle Expansion Draft on July 21st, the 1st round of the NHL Draft on July 23rd as well as a Free Agency Round Up show on July 28th. And we may finally have some exciting news when it comes to new IC merch (finally).
