National Hockey League team in Manitoba, Canada
The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg.
The Jets compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference. The team is owned by True North Sports & Entertainment, playing its home games at Canada Life Centre.[6][7]
The franchise was established as the Atlanta Thrashers on June 25, 1997, and began play in the 1999–2000 NHL season.
True North Sports & Entertainment then bought the team in May 2011, and relocated the Jets to Winnipeg prior to the 2011–12 season, making them the first NHL franchise to relocate since the Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997.[8][9][10
