On May 6, 1995, a "funeral" was held, where each player said goodbye to the fans. Unwilling to lose the team, a massive grassroots "Save Our Jets" campaign was mounted. On May 16th 55,000+ people attended a huge rally at the Forks. A fundraising effort eventually raised millions toward keeping the team afloat however, it just wasn't quite enough. The team would later move to Phoenix where they have yet, after 14 years in the NHL to really make an impact on the people of the city.

During the almost 200 min live video taken on this day; you'll see very interesting interviews with Sam Katz ( Now Winnipeg Mayor ), Mark Chipman ( Now Manitoba Moose Owner & Future Face Of The NHL In Winnipeg ), Past Winnipeg Jets, Fans, Etc.

Bring'Em Back!
