Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data

The building the original Jets called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names Winnipeg Arena from the 1979–1996 years.

  • Final home: Winnipeg Arena (1979–1996), Winnipeg, MB — the club's only NHL home. Hockey capacity was about 15,500. Last home game was April 28, 1996, against Detroit.

Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1979, the year the Jets joined the NHL in the WHA merger. Winnipeg Arena was their only NHL home. WHA seasons sit outside this window.

If your ticket says Winnipeg Arena, that is this club's only NHL home. MTS Centre, Bell MTS Place, and Canada Life Centre are later names for a different downtown building used by today's Winnipeg Jets—the relocated Atlanta Thrashers—so a ticket with those names is not a 1979–1996 Jets game.

The club entered the NHL in 1979 from the World Hockey Association, where Bobby Hull had been the face of the WHA years. Dale Hawerchuk, drafted first overall in 1981, anchored the 1980s; Teemu Selanne's 76-goal rookie season in 1992–93 still stands as the NHL record. The Save the Jets campaign could not keep the team, and the last game at Winnipeg Arena was April 28, 1996, a 4–1 playoff loss to Detroit. The franchise continued in Arizona. Original Jets nights stay in this archive; desert nights belong on the Coyotes page. Today's Winnipeg Jets are the relocated Atlanta Thrashers, who reused the name in 2011.

The Winnipeg Jets (1979–1996) hosted NHL games at Winnipeg Arena in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, from 1979 to 1996. Dates for those nights are anchored in Central time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names that arena.

Rebuild your Winnipeg Jets (1979–1996) history

Use that timeline when dating a night: Winnipeg Arena (1979–1996) was this club's only NHL home—a different building from today's Canada Life Centre, not a rename. A ticket that says MTS Centre, Bell MTS Place, or Canada Life Centre belongs to the current Jets. The last home game in Winnipeg for this franchise was April 28, 1996, against Detroit; the franchise then continued in Arizona. Rebuilding Winnipeg Jets (1979–1996) attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.

  • Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
  • Email receipts and order confirmations
  • Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
  • Calendar entries and season-ticket records
  • Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
  • Winnipeg Arena nights (1979–1996)—final home in Ticket Timeline's data
  • Teemu Selanne's 76-goal rookie season (1992–93), if you were there
