Organizations and associations around the world have shifted their focus to environmentally-friendly initiatives that incorporate their values with those of green business practices. While the majority of sports associations have been hesitant, the National Hockey League pounced on the opportunity to build relationships and partnerships with several ecological companies. The NHL is the first professional […]

Despite a very strong performance on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators, the Winnipeg Jets came up short falling 6-5 to their division rival. Head coach Paul Maurice’s squad battled hard all game but were deflated by a go-ahead goal with one minute remaining in the third period by the Predators’ newly acquired winger, Ryan Hartman. […]

When conversation emerges about Winnipeg Jets’ captain, Blake Wheeler, one thing comes to mind: 100% effort. “He’s without a doubt the leader of this team,” said Bryan Little. “With him, you know what to expect every day. He’s going to bring his 100% effort and I think he’s a great role model for our young […]

It is already apparent that general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Winnipeg Jets won the trade that sent power forward Evander Kane to the Buffalo Sabres in February of 2015. The Jets packaged Kane with rugged defender Zach Bogosian and goaltender Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and […]

Entering this season, the primary concern for the Winnipeg Jets was discipline, which has been their kryptonite year after year. It seemed whenever things were going right for the Jets, undisciplined plays would be their undoing and cost them valuable points. Now, almost a month into the season, the Jets find themselves in a very […]

It’s hard to believe Nikolaj Ehlers only has 154 NHL games to his name. His threatening rushes have become a trademark with the Winnipeg Jets and his confidence makes him look like an experienced player. The dazzling Dane’s breakaway speed, dynamite hands and tremendous vision are just a few assets he brings to the table. […]

The Winnipeg Jets are accumulating depth up front better than ever before. Their core top-six remains intact and their constantly fluid bottom-six continues to be an extremely fierce competition. Veterans like Bryan Little, Matthieu Perreault, and captain Blake Wheeler are undeniably penciled into their top two lines. Having Little healthy for the whole season will […]

With the quality of roster put together by Winnipeg Jets general manager, Kevin Cheveldayoff, the club was undoubtedly expected to make the playoffs. Those expectations fell short and the team found themselves on the golf course by May. One can chalk up the disappointing season to poor goaltending, underperforming depth players or untimely injuries but no matter […]

Goaltending was a frequent topic of conversation last season and not in the way Winnipeg Jets management or fans anticipated. Connor Hellebuyck performed admirably for a young netminder, earning 26 victories in 56 starts. Michael Hutchinson was between the pipes for the majority of the remainder of games but appears a likely candidate to be dealt. […]

Every year, the Winnipeg Jets participate in a Penticton, British Columbia-based tournament dubbed the Young Stars Classic. The event features the four Canadian teams from the Western Conference — the Calgary Flames, the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks  along with the Jets. The tournament has seen the likes of Johnny Gaudreau, Bo Horvat, Connor […]

The Winnipeg Jets have had plenty of issues with goaltending before. From everyday inconsistencies to a young goaltender working through some kinks, they have had their fair share of problems. This year’s crease complication is due to the fact of an overload of the position. The Jets enter the season without Ondrej Pavelec in the organization […]

Too many times hockey fans have watched their team’s promising college prospects get stolen away before they can even see them sport the jersey. One of the biggest risks of drafting an NCAA player is that once his schooling is completed, he can opt to not sign with the NHL club that drafted him. The decision […]

The playoffs began with six former Winnipeg Jets suiting up. Of those six former Jets, Montreal’s Al Montoya, Boston’s Drew Stafford, Chicago’s Johnny Oduya and Calgary’s Michael Frolik were eliminated in the first round and their seasons subsequently ended. The two former Jets that remain are New York’s Tanner Glass and Pittsburgh’s Ron Hainsey. Glass and Hainsey are […]

April 3 will now be known as the day national pride and excitement were torn from the hands of hockey fans, as the National Hockey League released a statement confirming that they will not participate at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The decision came after months of speculation that the negotiations between the […]

The Winnipeg Jets are widely-considered one of the league’s best at bringing in young players and integrating them into the lineup when appropriate. That method is done correctly by closely monitoring minutes, putting the player in situations where they have the best chance to succeed and giving them more responsibility when earned. The Jets are currently carrying six forwards, […]

The Winnipeg Jets have allowed three or more goals in 15 straight games. While goaltending is responsible for a percentage of those goals, the Jets’ blueline needs to bear the burden too. While the Jets are often associated with the “draft and develop” technique of building a team, the statement falls quite short in the defence […]
