Which is of course, tradition.

Congrats to the denizens of the province Hockey has been gone for quite some time and it is good to see it coming back as Atlanta is not a Hockey town in any sense of the term.

The folks up there really want their NHL back, Atlanta seems indifferent to the NHL, so I'm sort of cheering for them to land a team.wpgfishfan likes this. -

I'm fist pumping everyone in this thread even if it's a negative comment
I like the Jets as much as I like the Dolphins....Imagine the Dolphins leave for 15 years and then come back -

Still not 100%. But we are at 99%. This will help the NFL off season

Not sure Padre, I just like the history and think the Jets should return to Winnipeg.

The name is going to be Manitoba for sure not Winnipeg. I don't like it but it is what it is. As for the jets name
1. I hate it because it reminds me of NY
2. The jets moved to Phoenix and we are getting Atlanta
3. Our new owner is a Chicago bears fan. I like that idea but I hope we use a polar bear logo since northern Manitoba has them
4. If it's not the jets the most popular choice is the falcons which was our old team nameTone_E likes this. -

Good for Winnipeg/Manitoba. This is the second time the NHL tried to have a franchise in Atlanta and the second time it failed. The sooner they realize only college and pro football matter to that area the better off they will be. MLB and NBA can't even get Atlanta fans to come out regularly and they actually have teams worth watching. The good news for Winnipeg is they have a team again, the bad news is it's not very good :lol:

Excellent news....now, bring on the Finals!!!!!
