The Winnipeg Jets are a National Hockey League (NHL) team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Previously, they were a team in the World Hockey Association (WHA) from 1972 until their merger into the NHL in 1979. In 1996, the team relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, to become the Phoenix (and later, Arizona) Coyotes. In 2024, the league suspended the franchise, with all players and personnel relocated to a new team in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2011, the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg and became the second incarnation of the Jets.
