History, rivals and game night in Winnipeg

Franchise story

Winnipeg's current Jets arrived from Atlanta in 2011, where the franchise had played as the Thrashers. The original Jets entered the NHL in 1979 and spent 17 seasons in Winnipeg before moving to Arizona and becoming the Coyotes.

The Jets and the NHL announced the consolidation of both Winnipeg eras into one official statistical history, with records published on Records.NHL.com. The Coyotes' later Arizona history is not part of it.

Editorial tips

Our suggestions, not official team guidance.

Get to your seat before warmups end if you want to see the pregame features; times and formats are set by the club, so check the official Winnipeg Jets game-day information first.
Many traditions above are playoff-specific or occasional. Treat them as things you might see, not things every regular-season game will include.

Cautions

Arena codes of conduct apply to every fan. Check the venue bag and entry policy before you travel.
