I'm not even Canadian (long time Bruins fan), but this video brought a tear to my eye. Winnipeg deserves the Jets, who are now my favorite Canadian team.

And boy, did they get a excellent player.

That's 2 Teams that Canada got from Atlanta! We got the Calgary Flames from the Atlanta Flames, and the Winnipeg Jets from the Atlanta Thrashers! Give Atlanta another team so eventually Canada can get another team!!!!

0:08 laines cheering the return of the jets

The announcement of the team name was done with a lot of class.

I still get goosebumps almost 8 years later. GO JETS GO!

scheifele is awesome, too the top.

I'll never forget the day we got the Thrashers and I'll never forget the day they were named the Jets!

Glad they are the Jets.

dancin gabe in the first min of the vid.. the legend

And now is one of the best players in the league

Growing up in leafs nation, then moving to flyers country, I always loved and.missed my jets. Go Jets! 3 teams to root for now! My Yankee wife will be just thrilled.lol

looking at that board including nugent hopkins, jets got the best player in that draft.

thanks for posting, this is awesome. i dont have cable, i wish i could find a place to watch the sportsnet nighty wrap up everyday

nice, congradulations winnipeg on getting your jets back. =]

One of the reasons why I’m glad I chose Winnipeg as my third favorite team (Yes, third!). That fan base is so dedicated and their reactions when they got their team back and named the Jets just warms my heart. You guys deserved to get the NHL back in your city!

THE JETS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still get teary eyed watching this

First the Thrashers, next the Coyotes. Watch out Phoenix, Quebec is coming for your ass.

Thanks for posting this! I had to work so I couldn't watch the draft. :(

and look at him now. ngl i cried. atta boy scheifs.

Minneapolis!? Really, Chevy? It's on now. Welcome back. The NHL missed you deeply. That said, we're coming to getcha! Go Wild!

@ 2:22 the 1st step to bringing back the glory days of the NHL

once they get him into the regular file and a guy to give him passes, hes gonna kick ass, i really like this kids stuff, wrong 'em boyo.

Love the return of a great city to the NHL, now Let's Go WHALERS!!!!!!

Heritage Classic with Quebec and Montreal

Bring back a team to Hartford?

now that you look back scheifele was best of the seven selected before him.

Big steal if the was a 2011 nhl redo draft then he would be first

@kblackley That's because Mark Chipman is nothing but class.

1:15 .. love the Jets fans .. with the former "Thrashers" fans in the background .. they probably were wondering where Atlanta was during the Draft .. HA

@nords Pretty soon!!! Hopefully this year ... but if not, you'll get the Islanders in 2015.

@MisterSherlockHamlet Thanks man, but I think you mean "BE PROUD, JETS FANS! You can safely say that you have THE BEST FANBASE IN THE NHL!" :D

@ckfxTV Not at all, what kind of video is it???

@kdecastro No problem!

You can hear the commentator say "Mmm, Scheifele?" at 2:59, haha.

Oh jeez edmonton way to get 1st 2 years in a row.

@votava55 Let's go Wild-Jets rivalry! About time we get a REAL rival at last!

great kid. but i can't believe they passed on couturie

Would have been better if it had been a total secret :D

-laughs- Still awesome how everyone's chanting in the background. Too bad the season's messed up this year.

Why would you wanna express gratitude to Bettman?

Why doen't the NHL have more new Teams like the NFL? I like hockey.

RIGHT ON they thank St. John's....should be the St. John's Moose but unlikely to get that name :( NEWFIE PRIDE!!!!

*How about that #2 pick by the Aves!!*

schiffle was the best pick in that draft lol

Mike McCarthy? 2:24

Good like Atlanta was a hockeytown lol.

Thanks to Chipman's Stoopid ownership group, Whenever the Lyric "North" appears in a song (ie Mercyful Fate's "Come To The Sabbath) ... I sing "True North". Still hate the Jets, though!
