Winnipeg Jets History

[FerrisRox]

No. The Jets numbers are still retired and displayed in the arena alongside more recent players.

The numbers may be displayed, but they are not retired. They are in active use by the Coyotes.

Really good interview with Bobby Hull.

No Housley at the alumni game!? Damn, I was hoping he be there

He can't make it due to being an assistant coach for the Nashville Predators.

Didn't realize that. He sure has imposed his identity as a player on that team.

Ed Olczyk, Daniel Berthiaume and Dan Maloney added to the Winnipeg Jets' lineup for the Heritage Classic Alumni Game.

Really good interview with Bobby Hull.

Thanks for that! That was great.

If anyone is interested there will be an Alumni Practice on Friday, October 21.

Nothing wrong with this, IMO, especially with the Jets back in Winnipeg now. If Phoenix wants to use any of those numbers they should feel free.

Nothing against Winnipeg, but if you take away Hull and I guess you can add Nilsson and Hedberg, how many others would be considered "stars" within the NHL other than Hawerchuk? Selanne, for the brief time he was there I guess.

 

[angrymnky]

Housley's in the Hall of Fame so you have to include him
Steen would be the best of the rest of the Jets. He had good numbers considering the terrible wingers he had to play with.

Anders Hedberg honoured to be back in Winnipeg for Jets' Hall of Fame induction.

"Four years in Winnipeg afforded me wonderful experiences," former Jets winger says.

Maybe Tkachuk? He did have some good years in Winnipeg.

Interesting commentary on an article written by Colin Fast on why Hull should not be inducted because of his off ice behavior. Begs the question, is it a hockey HOF and/or whether it should include a citizens in good standing merit.

not a Hull fan--he was a ***** no arguing that fact--but if I am not mistaken

Hull has never been convicted of anything--plead guilty for punching a cop--this happened after his career was over

Grant Fuhr got suspended for drug use and Glenn Anderson--well --either you know or you do not know--and the guys who put these guys in the hockey hall of fame--did know what they did

Without Bobby Hull--there is no jets in the NHL

Swedes taught Jets how to fight back with their sticks.

That's true, the history of the Winnipeg Jets starts with Bobby Hull.

Robert (Bob) Earle Essensa for one. There are literally dozens ... a banquet to choose from Big Guy.
