This was supposed to be the "Big" announcement that the Winnipeg Jets would either be staying in Winnipeg Long term OR Moving. What it ended up being was a question & Answer period with Barry Shenkarow as he tried to explain his and his partner's role in trying to land a new arena and salvage the Winnipeg Jets Franchise.

It has been 12 long years without the Jets and just like the Computer shown at the End of this video, times have changed everything & the Economics to support a professional NHL Franchise in Winnipeg are positive! New Arena, New CBA, Young Rabid Working-class hockey Fans, Proven Support & a general love for the game will be more than enough to support the Winnipeg Jets when they return!

    Bring'Em Back

  • Please Note: I posted this video in order for some people not old enough OR not around at this time to be able to view exactly what happened at the original time. Most of us do not want to relive these dark days but, out of sheer interest; I'm posting for those to help them get a grasp of what really happened.

  • well folks we got a team back and Shenkarow is not running the show

  • This won't be an issue ;)

    Bring'em Back!

  • Find 10,000-12,000 season ticket holders willing to shell out an $3,000 average for season tickets and make 5 year commitments. Good luck.

  • In fact Shenkarow has recently said that the

    NHL franchise would be sustainable in Winnipeg but it wouldn't be a big profit maker. So Shenkarow supports the idea but I don't support the idea of Shenkarow being the front man. I'll tell you how. We do it ourselves & we make Ken Morissette the front man. He has a group on facebook called:

    "WINNIPEG JETS FAN CHALLENGE... Lets help to get them back!"

    10 000 members. His idea - get 100 000 members $500 each, buy majority shares

    bring them back.

  • Barry you are getting a second chance with the Coyotes for sale and Bettman wanting Relocation to Winnipeg if they can't stay in Phoenix. Team up with Mark Chipman and David Asper and put in a bid for the Coyotes and move them back home to Winnipeg!

  • Gary Bettmen is a smart man. He is a man of numbers. He let the jets move and quebec move because of the cities they moved to had more ppl and needed less % of those ppl to make it work. What he didnt realize is that he still needed a % of ppl in a place where hockey is unheard of. Thats the problem with Bettman he didnt do his homework. The states support winners only and if your team dosent make the playoffs or win any championships then they dont come to your games. Look at the Avs

  • I would like Winnipeg to have an NHL team back once more
