Jett Who?

 

[MarchessaultCantRead]

 

[Sol]

Now this is a fun name

 

[StickShift]

Fourth year in the AHL. Looked better last year but no one is pencilling him into NHL minutes.

Needs to make a big pro step this year or he’ll be stalled at the career AHLer level.

 

[VainGretzky]

Jett Woo Who ?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Likely will cap out as a mid-level AHLer but has a couple years to see if he can push through into maybe a 7th/8th d type.

 

[boredmale]

So the Canucks sign a Jet?

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I’ve been waiting since the 2018 draft for a Woo-Hughes pairing. Maybe this year will be the year.

 

[Sideline]

First ballot hall of fame name.

Jet Li or The Golden Jet?
Maybe Dr. Woo…

 

[McShogun99]

I thought Chazz Lucius was the best name in hockey but I've been proven wrong.

Reminder to all crazy hockey parents out there... this kid went 4th overall in the WHL bantam draft

So being the 4th best hockey player in western Canada at 14 years old doesn't guarantee a kid a spot in the NHL.

If your kid is the 3rd best player on the 4th best team in your city league, they ain't going anywhere. Relax and let them have fun and enjoy themselves

Jett Who?

We are sorry our hockey games are on past your bedtime.

Listen kids just because your parents were a billet family for an imminently famous movie star doesn't mean their real children are guaranteed an NHL roster spot just for naming the player after the actor!
PUT ON THE BRAKES IF YOU THINK THIS WILL WORK.

He needs to play for the Wings at some point

I guess I could have posted it in one of the other dozen "Jett Woo" threads that are out there

Which is my point

The kid is from my area, all I heard forever was how he was the chosen one to finally make it to the show. Nobody else ever has

 

[Holtbyisms]

Came here for this.

 

[Runner77]

Gotta be one one of the coolest names in sports.

And yes, this too.

Jet Li or The Golden Jet?
Maybe Dr. Woo…

His first name gets a lot of attention because the defenceman from Winnipeg was named after actor Jet Li. The story goes that Woo’s grandfather, who immigrated to Canada and was active in Winnipeg’s Chinese community, was working towards helping Jet Li move to this country when the actor decided maybe he should go straight to Hollywood instead.

Jett Woo’s dad, Larry, who played junior hockey in Victoria and Swift Current before becoming a firefighter in Winnipeg, loved the name and gave it to his first-born son.

“My parents added an extra T,” Woo told Sportsnet. “I think for good luck.”
