history

Ice hockey in Atlanta and move to Canada

The city of Atlanta was awarded a franchise on June 25, 1997 as part of the southern expansion of the National Hockey League, which was named Atlanta Thrashers and began playing at the beginning of the 1999/2000 season. It was the second team to be based in the city after the Atlanta Flames were based there between 1972 and 1980 . The Thrashers achieved only a few sporting successes during their twelve seasons. Only in the 2006/07 season they won the title of the Southeast Division and thus qualified for the play-offs.

In October 2009 rumors first surfaced that the investor group True North Sports & Entertainment was interested in the Atlanta Thrashers. The group had been trying hard to get ice hockey in the city since the Winnipeg Jets left Winnipeg in 1996. She was involved in the merger of the American Hockey League and International Hockey League in 2001, pushed ahead with the construction of the MTS Center, which was completed in 2004, and acquired the rights to the AHL franchise of Manitoba Moose , which is now based there .

Public fanfare in Winnipeg to announce the move of the franchise on May 31, 2011

After True North Sports & Entertainment initially intensified their efforts to relocate the Phoenix Coyotes in spring 2011 , they turned their attention back to the Thrashers in May. On May 28, 2011 it was reported that the previous investors of the Thrashers and True North had come to an agreement. However, the league leadership of the NHL still had to agree to the relocation. On May 31, a press conference announced the acquisition of the team for $ 170 million and an additional $ 60 million relocation fee, which will be split between the league's remaining 29 franchises, and the relocation. Into formal approval by the NHL at the meeting of the NHL Board of Governors on 21 June 2011. As part of the settlement of the team in Winnipeg, the Manitoba Moose to have been St. John's in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador relocated.

In order to force the league's approval, the new owners aimed to sell 13,000 season tickets within three weeks. On June 1, the exclusive advance sale for previous season ticket holders of the Manitoba Moose started, which ended on June 3 with 7,158 tickets sold. The remaining tickets went on sale on June 4th. Just a few minutes after the free sale began, the remaining 13,000 season tickets were sold out. A waiting list limited to 8,000 tickets has been set up for those interested.

The first season in Winnipeg

In their first season the Winnipeg Jets take the place of the Thrashers in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference . For the 2012/13 season , the team will join the Northwest Division of the Western Conference . For this, more teams would have to change divisions and one would have to take the free space in the Eastern Conference.

A few days after the announcement of the sale, the first personnel changes became known. The former president of the franchise, Don Waddell , stated that he will not follow the team to Winnipeg. The new owners also announced that the contract of the previous General Manager Rick Dudley, which was still valid for four years, had been paid out. A day later it was announced that the Canadian Kevin Cheveldayoff had been made an offer for the vacant position of General Manager. The official confirmation of the commitment finally followed on June 8th. Cheveldayoff then began looking for a new head coach on June 12th. The previous head coach of Atlantas, Craig Ramsay , was informed during the search process on June 20 that he would not look after the team in Winnipeg; instead, on June 23, Cheveldayoff hired Manitoba Moose's head coach , Claude Noël .

As part of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft , the owners finally announced the team's new nickname - Jets . The team that existed in Winnipeg from 1972 to 1996 had already worn it. With their first voting right in the draft in seventh overall position, they selected the Canadian center Mark Scheifele . On July 1, the team secured their first unrestricted free agent in defender Derek Meech - a son of the city . In addition, on July 5, the Jets secured the services of their captain Andrew Ladd , who was temporarily available on the market as a restricted free agent - a so-called restricted free player - and who had the option of receiving an offer from someone else using an offer sheet Teams would be submitted. He signed a five-year contract worth approximately $ 22 million. Later, General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff made the first significant commitment via transfer deal when he hired striker Eric Fehr of the Washington Capitals . The Jets signed Mark Scheifele, selected in the Entry Draft, on October 3, 2011 after he had convinced in the preparation games.

On July 22, 2011 the logos and lettering of the Winnipeg Jets were presented to the public. These are intended to symbolize the ties between the city of Winnipeg and the Canadian armed forces .

The first game of the 2011/12 season played Winnipeg on October 9 at the home MTS Center against the Montréal Canadiens . The Canadiens won 5-1. Nikolai Antropov scored the first hit of the Jets on presentation of Mark Stuart and Alexander Burmistrow to the interim 1: 2. In the fourth game of the season on October 17, Winnipeg achieved their first victory. They beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1.

Team captains

In the history of the Winnipeg Jets there has been one player who has held the position of team captain.

year Surname
2011-2016 Andrew Ladd
since 2016 Blake Wheeler

As with the Atlanta Thrashers since November 2010 , the Canadian Andrew Ladd received the captain's characteristic "C" on his jersey. Ladd had come to Atlanta from the Chicago Blackhawks on a transfer deal in early July 2010 . By selling the franchise, he moved the team to Canada and retained the office. Ladd returned to Chicago in February 2016, so the captaincy remained vacant for the time being. In August 2016, the 30-year-old American Blake Wheeler was appointed the new team captain.

Members of the Hockey Hall of Fame

To date, no Winnipeg Jets player or official has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame .

Blocked jersey numbers

The famous number 99 in honor of the Canadian Wayne Gretzky is the only jersey number that has been banned throughout the league since February 6, 2000 and is therefore no longer given to a player.

The blocked jersey numbers of the former Winnipeg Jets - the jersey with the number 9 from Bobby Hull and the 25 from the Swede Thomas Steen - as well as the subsequently blocked number 10 from Dale Hawerchuk are formally anchored in the franchise of the current Phoenix Coyotes and therefore on the part of the current Jets freely selectable.

For example, after moving to Winnipeg, Evander Kane , the bearer of the number 9 received permission from Bobby Hull to continue wearing the number. Bryan Little did without jersey number 10, just like Chris Thorburn did without the number 25.

The use of the jersey number 37, which was not banned by the Atlanta Thrashers after the accidental death of Dan Snyder , but also no longer awarded, is borne by goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck after consultation with the parents of Dan Snyder .

First-round voting rights in the NHL Entry Draft

Since 2011, the Jets had ten draft rights in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft , four of them in the top ten of each class.

With the first draft in their team history, the Winnipeg Jets selected the Canadian center Mark Scheifele of the Barrie Colts from the Ontario Hockey League in seventh overall position in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft on June 24th . The following year they were able to move in ninth position and chose the US defender Jacob Trouba .
