Winnipeg Jets
    #14673316 - 06/26/11 01:53 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Was born and raised in Winnipeg, left at 31 to attend a prestigious rehab facility in BC, where I graduated (kicked out after 4 months) with top honors in misbehaving, and didn't return to my home town.:irishtoast:

I never thought I'd see the day when they returned.  One of my best friends from childhood was one of the strongest voices throughout the years since they left, he'd been interviewed numerous times by CBC, newspapers, etc, discussed it with Chipman, and owned the first major return of the jets website which he started years ago. http://www.jetsowner.com/ Anyways, I really didn't think we'd have a chance, considering our new building was the very minimal occupancy, and even the sold out Moose games didn't open up the upper deck of the building. 

My first job was at the arena selling popcorn and drinks at Jets games when I was 14.  I used to be able to just walk in the employees doors and attend games without tickets by waving at the desk clerk. 

Anyways, I had an argument with a hockey card store just before game 7 in Vancouver, and he promised me they would never be named the Jets, considering Phoenix holds all the records and would have to be compensated if we used the Jets.  He swore Moose would be the name, well fuck him and his Canucks lost, haha.

The best thing, is that one of the owners is the richest man in Canada, and the other is the man who made the Moose one of the most successful AHL teams.  I think the Jets have a good chance.  We invented the whiteout.

Expect impressive fan noise, the building was built with sound in mind.  It's like the old Winnipeg barn, loud as hell, and full of huge hockey fans.  One of those cities where every 10 blocks has an outdoor hockey rink......a city where the NHL should have never left in the first place.  Fuck Bettman.

GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah I am looking forward to this :smile:  I'm born and raised in Manitoba, and live here again (moved away for awhile) - I remember when the Jets left and never imagined the NHL would be back.  IMO the Moose were a great team for us and I was actually happy with them, but I am super excited to get in on the NHL again especially now that I am old enough to actually appreciate going to games and stuff.
