With the city of Winnipeg gearing up for the return of the Jets, the crew here at Arctic Ice Hockey has spent the summer getting you familiarized with the roster of the new Jets squad as well as a variety of other topics surrounding the relocation from Atlanta.
While you may have been reading our content online, what went largely unnoticed is that the AIH team and several contributors from The Illegal Curve Radio Show have been crafting content for the first ever Winnipeg Jets Annual by Maple Street Press. The magazine was edited (and task-mastered) by our own Ben Wendorf (Bettman's Nightmare). He even managed to make MY sections look passable.
The magazine is now available for pre-order and will hit newsstands on September 13, 2011. The cost is $9.99 for the commemorative publication, and it runs without advertisements. If you like the content here and at Illegal Curve, you'll love what we've put together for the magazine. As an added bonus, now you can pass on some of your newfound knowledge to those that aren't interweb-savvy, like I'm going to do with my dad.
After the jump is the full table of contents, so you can see what kind of shenanigans we've been up to.

The big trade
It’s curious that it doesn’t look like Kovalchuk was mentioned in the Annual. I’m interested in what the feeling is about the end result / long term effects of the Kovalchuk / COBB trade… Cormier, Oduya, Bergfors and the Burmistrov pick.
As far as I know, we didn’t cover it. That said, I’ll take it on as a project here at AIH.

I don’t like to think about Don Waddell if I don’t have to.
I'd like to let all those NHL teams that passed me up in 2002 know that yes, I have managed to fill out my frame.
