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.

[@Tuxmuxx]

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!!!!

[@p.hhenry4454]

And boy, did they get a excellent player.

[@ryanfriesen4366]

0:08 laines cheering the return of the jets

[@kblackley]

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

[@jetshull]

scheifele is awesome, too the top.

[@FDG0327]

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

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

Glad they are the Jets.

[@DCMAC12]

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

[@sabresrock234]

[@MukYaddad]

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

[@arkham335]

[@joeforsberg3337]

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!

[@BostonRules1]

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

[@kdecastro]

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

[@jetshull]

[@votava55]

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

[@StFidjnr]

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

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

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

[@StJoesRams09]

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

[@nathanviebranz9111]

Heritage Classic with Quebec and Montreal

[@Alcoholica420]

@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

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

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

[@Hbmd3E]

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

[@weareallcanucks74]

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

[@Alcoholica420]

@kdecastro No problem!

[@Alcoholica420]

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

[@mrconfusion87]

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

[@therealsporadicaarmy]

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

[@OttSensFan89]

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

[@clintos007]

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

[@DreamerStarlight]

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

[@wellwood494]

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

[@redroosterdude]

Why would you wanna express gratitude to Bettman?

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

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

[@zargaalxi2164]

Mike McCarthy? 2:24

[@MrandMrsFlamer]

Good like Atlanta was a hockeytown lol.

[@mattg30380003]

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

[@ryanfriesen4366]

schiffle was the best pick in that draft lol

[@groundtraveler2814]

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

[@WingDiamond]

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!
