The nightmare is OVER!!! Congrats to True North! I will resume as if the last 15 years of NHL hockey did not exist and I just returned home from the last regular season home game on Friday April 12, 1996.
Let this be a lesson to Herr Bettman and the rest of the anti-Canadian BOG. Never let OUR team, pride and identity be thrown in the trash again!

Congratulations, Manitobans!!!
My god, when I first started coming here the "news updates" were more like Darren defending himself from being called insane or naive. And our discussions on the board were all just fantasy. It's been such a long time coming.

I celebrated on Thursday after the Brunt article...didn't we already know this was a done deal?.... Chipman and/or Thomson for Prime Minister!....well done guys...we owe you and as payback we will strongly support the team no matter the name....once again Winnipeggers are in TNSE's debt and here i thought you were just cautiously optomistic? you are really a crazy guy!

Now I can go back to hating the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Leafs, Canadians, Senators and soon to be Nordiques...

...and there it is! Wow, it's been a long time in coming. I think so many of us were near needing a support group lol. Thank you everybody for putting together such an amazing forum/web family. And thank you especially Darren for having the guts and vision to put it all out there. Finally we can all say together...
GO JETS GO!

Thats about it Hmm... after seeing the main page that is a big disapointment! But still great news... but like I saw someone else say I've been thinking this is a done deal since Thursday (although obviously with some "cautious optimism"). So this is obviously good news but my first thought had been that tomorrow is the day so this is just a teeny bit of a let down!

Congratulations to Rob Ford for your passion in keeping the return of the NHL to Winnipeg alive through cyberspace via the the creation of this websight. Congratulations to Mark Chipman and True North for truly returning NHL hockey back to Winnipeg (Of course name has to be JETS right!) I have been a follower of this websight since around 2004!This is my first and probably last post, better late than never. I haven't had much to contribute because questions that I had in my mind were answered by all the various characters on this sight. The ridicule of anything to do with the Phoenix Coyotes saga was truly the best reading, extremely hillarious , especially the "count " graphics of Buttman! At last the count finally ran out of lives, and has let his icy grip allow a team to return to Winnipeg. Good for Winnipeg to rightfully take it's place again among North America's major league cities.

Ah yes Nikolai I did suffer, however my highlight of being a Leaf fan was the only time I saw the team live in that 15 years. A 3-0 shut out win, March 22 this year @ the Excel Energy Center

It's taken 31 years and a chance visit to the main ROTJ page, but I've finally got an NHL club I can support.
Those of us who come from Small-town North America appreciate your faith, determination, and work in the face of snobbish naysaying more than you'll ever know.
Looking forward to seeing Manitoba's team at St. Pete Times Forum next year mauling the Lightning.
