Note: The Jets have had some time away from the rink and that’s probably a good thing given the state of their game prior to the holiday break. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 9:30 AM CST so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Minnesota, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 8:40 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose remain on holiday break and will be back in action on New Year’s Eve when they welcome the defending Calder Cup champ Canucks to town. One member of the AHL club of Manitoba who is in action is captain Mason Shaw who scored a goal at the Spengler Cup helping Canada to a win in their first game.

Note IV: Reminder that we are taking today’s Illegal Curve Hockey Show off.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Former Jets blue-liner thriving as psychologist after hanging up his skates. (Paywall). This Jets club could use some help with their psyche so Kenny’s article about the former Jet seems like good timing.

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.
