Legendary Manitoba curler and broadcaster Don Duguid, a three-time Canadian men’s champion and two-time world champion, has died at the age of 90.

His son, Winnipeg Liberal MP Terry Duguid, announced his father’s death on social media Thursday.

“He was a larger-than-life figure,” the MP told the Free Press on Thursday. “He had a very rich and long life.”

Duguid died peacefully Wednesday night, his son said.

The Winnipeg Jets will be a busy bunch when the new season begins.

The NHL released the freshly expanded 84-game schedules for all 32 teams on Thursday and the Jets open the campaign with 14 games during the month of October — including seven at Canada Life Centre.

The busiest month of the season for the Jets will be November, as they will play 15 games in 30 days.

Following the home opener against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 2, the Jets head out for two games in two days against the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins before returning home for a three-game homestand that includes a visit from Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche.
