A pretty reliable source, CBC news has confirmed that the NHL's schedule makers have included a team based out of Winnipeg in the 2010-2011 schedule as a contingency plan in case a new owner for the Phoenix Coyotes can't be found in time for next years season. Here's the link: www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2010/05/11/mb-nhl-winnipeg-coyotes-winnipeg.html?ref=rssI believe the NHL owns the rights to the Jets name, and probably all the fans in Winnipeg would want their Jets back too. If the Coyotes do indeed move back to Winnipeg, I wonder how long it'll be until we see new Jets jerseys. ;D Thoughts? |

I think it's neat. It'd give me a second Canadian team to care about  |

We'll receive word in a couple weeks if the Coyotes will be moving or not. I believe the NHL is waiting to work out a deal still with the Ice Edge group to become owners of the team.
lol Bettman will do anything it takes to keep hockey out of Canada!

That makes me happy. Now I can cheer for five Canadian teams. (Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg)

Well, don't count on the Jets returning next season.
According to a TSN source; that Glendale and NHL has agreed for one more season with the Coyotes; apparently. Eh.

Well, KempAY! is right. Officially, Phoenix will still get the Coyotes for at least one more year. Maybe next year guys.. =(
