The History of Winnipeg Jets Hockey

Back in 1972, Winnipeg had an ice hockey team that competed in the World Hockey Association from 1972 until 1979, then in the National Hockey League. The city adored their Jets, but in 1996 their beloved club was sold and relocated to Arizona.

Just a year later, an NHL franchise was born in Georgia, which put the wheels in motion for a return of hockey to Manitoba. In 11 seasons, the Atlanta Thrashers won one division championship, but they never quite lived up to expectations. So, in 2011, True North Sports & Entertainment, a Canadian-based ownership group, purchased the team. 

These players became the new Jets, and professional hockey was back in Manitoba after a 15-year absence. The move suited the squad, and after making the playoffs in several seasons, they came close to a championship in 2019. The trophy slipped through their fingertips that year, but with the support the organization gets from locals, you can bet they’ll be back to the Finals to claim a Stanley Cup victory!

The Jets NHL Schedule

Before you buy your Jets hockey tickets, you’ll need to figure out which opponent is most likely to meet your expectations. The league is full of legendary rivalries, not the least of which is the contentious relationship between the original Jets franchise, now playing as the Arizona Coyotes, and Winnipeg. Obviously, there’s some bad blood there, and when the clubs meet on the ice, both have extra incentive to give their fans a win.

If you can’t make it to a Coyotes–Jets matchup, the Edmonton Oilers are another worthy adversary. The Oilers and Thrashers had beef back in the day, and that intensified when the Arizona team moved to Canada and wound up in the same division of the Western Conference. The relocation also added national bragging rights to the list of reasons for the contentious relationship.

The Jets' other top opponents within the Central Division are the Minnesota Wild and the Nashville Predators. Winnipeg and the Wild have met in the playoffs several times, and their games are always close. The Jets and Predators are two of the most physical teams in the division, so their games are often high-scoring and exciting.

The Jets' top pairings in the Eastern Conference are the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. Both were original NHL teams, and in addition to being two of the most storied franchises in the league, Canadian pride is on the line when these franchises face off.

Seating 

With over 15,000 seats available, there are accommodations to suit every preference at the Canada Life Centre. For fans who enjoy being close to the players, the sections behind the benches are about as close as you can get. Section 119 is behind the Jets area, while the visiting team sits in front of Section 118.

Sections 105 and 106 are behind the penalty box, and the Jets shoot twice on the goal in front of Sections 107 and 109. If you have a family in tow, look for availability on the 300 level, which will give you decent views at affordable prices.
