WINNIPEG JETS HISTORY
The Winnipeg Jets were originally founded as the Atlanta Thrashers in 1999. In 2011, the NHL returned to Winnipeg after a Canadian company bought the Thrashers and relocated them north, renaming them the Jets.
It’s worth noting that this team is the second version of the Jets to play in Winnipeg. The original Winnipeg Jets moved to Arizona in 1996 and became the Coyotes. The Jets play their home games at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and are part of the Central Division.
In the 24 seasons of the team’s existence, the Jets have made it to the NHL postseason a total of 7 times. They have yet to win a Stanley Cup, and their most successful appearance in the playoffs was in 2017-2018 when the team lost the Conference Finals against The Knights in five games.
WINNIPEG JETS 2023-2024 SCHEDULE
The Jets will be up against very competitive teams in the Central Division and the Western Conference as a whole. The team is likely hoping to make it to the NHL postseason through a wild card spot.

WINNIPEG JETS 2023-2024 ROSTER
As mentioned in the section above, the Jets are looking promising this year, but it will take an extremely successful season to beat out some of their competitors in the Western Conference. But with new additions to the team, like Gabriel Vilardi and Laurent Brossoit, combined with core players like Connor Hellebuyck, Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrissey, the team’s chances are looking better than in previous years.
