[edit] Merger

All of this should be merged into the Phoenix Coyotes article and this name redirected, as is done with most sports franchises that have moved. RickK 01:02, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • Possibly the NHL portion should be merged with the Phoenix Coyotes article, however the WHA Jets should probably remain a seperate article. Also, the saga of the Jets in Winnipeg is not yet considered over by some die hard fans!--Nordberg 19:06, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • The article should stay where it is since it represents the WHA and NHL chapter of the Winnipeg franchise. There's also the regular talks of the Jets returning to the NHL. --Madchester 17:14, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)
  • Also, the Winnipeg Jets have their own seperate identity within the hockey world, and that merits its own page. They may "technically" be the Phoenix Coyotes now, but the aura of the Jets is so strong that both are practically different franchises. It's like the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens (before Cleveland came back)- Art Modell may have moved the Browns to Baltimore, but the Browns' prescence remained so strong in the National Football League that they essentially were not the same franchise. -RomeW
  • This should definitely stay its own article, just as for all other teams that have either ceased operations or relocated with name changes. The Jets and Coyotes, as far as I'm concerned, are two different teams with two different identities and fanbases. All they share at this point is some history. --Cholmes75 20:19, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Helped clean up the page. And yes, this should by far stay as its own article. --Dr. Pizza 04:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The Winnipeg Jets should, as it currently does, continue to have it's own page. As it is stated on the history page of my website Winnipeg Jets Online.com (http://www.winnipegjetsonline.com) "The skeleton of the Jets moved south of the border and became the Phoenix Coyotes but it's heart and sole remains in Winnipeg where it belongs and where it will soon be revived." Go JETS Go! - Lauren Robb 1:45pm, 11 September 2006
