Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Time for an in-depth look at what the Jets have going for them as draft nears. You need look no further than the Jets 1.0 history of woeful draft picks to realize how inexact the science of draft selection can be. Example: In 1991 Jets took Aaron Ward 5th overall and chosen by the Flyers one pick later (sound familiar?) was Peter Forsberg. What is clear from the Jets 2.0 picks is they are building for the long-term future.

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.
