The current version of the Winnipeg Jets were founded as the Atlanta Thrashers and began play in the 1997-98 season. After a lack of success on the ice and attendance dwindling, the franchise relocated to Winnipeg in 2011 and revived the Jets moniker, which was dormant after the original Jets departed for Arizona in 1996. Winnipeg has found more sustained success since their move North. Buy Winnipeg Jets tickets without hidden fees on TickPick this season for the guaranteed best prices of any ticket marketplace.
