Appleton was drafted by Winnipeg in 2015 in the 6th round and has turned into a very good find.  He was named the AHL’s outstanding rookie for 2017-18 finishing with 22 goals and 44 assists in 76 games for Manitoba.  He made the jump to the Jets in his next season and has played 82 games for Winnipeg scoring eight goals and adding 10 assists.

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.
