Note: During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives. If you’d like to help the Illegal Curve team as we raise money and awareness you are welcome to do so; Dave, Ezra & Drew.

Note II: Tune into the Illegal Curve Hockey Show today as we have a slightly modified show starting at 12:30 pm to 3 pm as the guys will have 2.5 hours of hockey talk on TSN Radio 1290. Guests: Bob Duff (Windsor Star) and Chris Botta (Sports Business Journal)

Jets & Affiliate news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Career-killerThere could be a massive roster change for the Jets.  So many things might happen and that uncertainty remains while the lockout continues.

CBC:  NHL, players’ union close to resuming talksSo they waste 2 weeks, cancel the Winter Classic and then decide to have talks.  Just brilliant.

Globe and Mail:  Why the NHL pulled the plugShoalts gives a breakdown of the events that necessitated, at least in the league’s mind, the cancellation of the NHL’s marquee event.

Globe and Mail:  NHL makes another PR blunder by blowing up Winter ClassicFrom a PR point of view, the only thing worse is cancelling the entire season and even that might not be the case considering many casual hockey fans become aware of the fastest game on ice when HBO starts covering the lead up to the New Years game.

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.
