QX 104 and CBC Manitoba: Cheering on the Winnipeg Jets from the top of the world

April 30, 2025 — 

David Babb, a scientist from the University of Manitoba, is repping the Winnipeg Jets in one of the most remote places on Earth — Axel Heiberg Island in Nunavut.

While studying sea ice conditions and climate in the High Arctic, Babb took a moment to show his Jets pride, capturing a photo that caught the team’s attention and got reposted by the Jets themselves.

He joins CBC’s Marjorie Dowhos to talk about his work and what it means to bring a piece of home to the top of the world. Follow the link to CBC Manitoba and you will hear the entire conversation. 

Dr. Babb also made time to talk about his research and love the Winnipeg Jets with the morning crew at QX 104. 

To hear that conversation, please follow the link to QX104.
