Note: The search remains ongoing for the Winnipeg Jets to find a new head coach. When they do we will have it covered.

Note II: Now that the Stanley Cup had been handed out the attention (aside from that devoted to the coaching search) switches to the NHL Draft which takes place in Montreal on July 7th and 8th. Reminder the Jets have two 1st, one 2nd, one 3rd, one 6th and one 7th.

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.
