The 2011–12 Winnipeg Jets season will be the 13th season for the National Hockey League franchise and the first in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after 12 seasons as the Atlanta Thrashers. The franchise played in Atlanta since the 1999–2000 NHL season, and relocated to Winnipeg following the conclusion of the 2010–11 NHL season.^[1] The relocation of the Thrashers to Winnipeg was confirmed by Gary Bettman on May 31, 2011, and approved by the NHL Board of Governors on June 21, 2011.^[2][3] The franchise will attempt to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2006–07 season, the franchise's only postseason appearance to date. The 2011 season also marks the first appearance of the Winnipeg Jets name in the NHL since the previous franchise moved from Winnipeg to Phoenix in 1996.

Off-season

On May 31, 2011, at a press conference at the MTS Centre, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed that the Atlanta Thrashers had been sold to True North Sports and Entertainment and will relocate to Winnipeg for the 2011-12 NHL season after an unanimous vote favoring the sale and relocation at the Board of Governors meeting on June 21, 2011^[4]

On June 4, 2011, the new owners informed GM Rick Dudley that he would not be the GM of the team any longer and the last four years of his contract were bought out.^[5] On June 8, 2011, Winnipeg named Kevin Cheveldayoff as their new GM. Cheveldayoff had been serving as the assistant GM for the Chicago Blackhawks.^[6] On June 20, 2011, the new owners informed Craig Ramsay that he was no longer the coach of the team. Former Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish was also informed he was out of the running for the head coaching position.^[7] On June 24, True North announced that Claude Noel would be the first head coach of the new team in Winnipeg. Noel had spent the previous season as the head coach of the Manitoba Moose.^[8]

The team's name was revealed to be the "Jets" at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft before the team made their selection.^[9]

On August 15, Rick Rypien was found deceased at his home in Alberta. Rypien had signed a contract with the Jets in the off-season, he was 27 years old.^[10]

The Jets unveiled their new jerseys at an event held on September 6 at 17 Wing in Winnipeg.^[11]

The game was originally scheduled for Conception Bay South while the Jets were still the Thrashers, but the Jets' relocation to Winnipeg, the subsequent relocation of the Manitoba Moose as the St. John's IceCaps, the IceCaps' affiliation with the Jets, and the IceCaps' close proximity (less than 30 km) from Conception Bay South prompted a move to the IceCaps' home arena. ^ "NHL Roster - Winnipeg Jets - Team Roster".
