I don't think this is necessarily interesting but it blows my mind that when it comes to team records, it gets transferred from city to city when the team relocates. For the Winnipeg Jets who have seen their team come and go over multiple times, it's gotten kind of confusing in how to figure out where the records lie. While they have a team of their own currently, their team history currently includes the time in which they were the Atlanta Thrashers. The original (I believe) team's records from the 70's to the 90's are now part of the Arizona Coyotes record books in which they still honor the previous franchise records, as well as retired numbers including Bobby Hull's #9, and Thomas Steen's #25 in the old Jets colors.
While it's appreciative to see where the roots of the team are, having the existing franchise somehow be the same but not is a little bit of a misnomer in my eyes. |
