On the first day of Christmas the Coyotes gave to me… one Jets franchise

Yes, Winnipeg is back in the NHL now after the Atlanta Thrashers failed to work out.

Once upon time, however, the Winnipeg Jets name settled down for a long winter’s nap and moved their franchise to Phoenix and became the Coyotes, although the franchise kept it’s history in tact.

So any Jets records before 1996 are technically Coyotes franchise records, though the new Jets franchise also claims said records. Confusing.

Anyway, thank you Winnipeg because 20 years later we are still going strong.
