Note: The Jets got the last of their RFAs locked up and the only remaining business will be whether they ink captain Adam Lowry or top winger Kyle Connor to an extension at some point before training camp gets underway in September. Otherwise it will likely be a fairly slow August for news about the NHL club of Winnipeg.

Note II: Reminder that the Illegal Curve Hockey Show is on summer hiatus until the second weekend in September. Of course we will still be doing some of our summer series chats so stay tuned for that throughout the month of August.

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.
