Winnipeg Jets history
There have been two versions of the Jets. The first began in the WHA in 1972, won the Avco Cup in 1976, 1978 and 1979, and entered the NHL in 1979 after the merger. Those NHL years were bumpy, and after the 1995-96 season the team moved to Phoenix to become the Coyotes.
The current club traces back to Atlanta. The NHL added the Thrashers there on June 25, 1997, and they started play in the 1999-2000 season. True North Sports & Entertainment bought the team in May 2011 and brought it north before the 2011-12 season, the first NHL relocation since Hartford became Carolina in 1997. Today's Jets play at Canada Life Centre, a cozy rink with 15,225 seats, and compete in the Central Division.
