I think when TNSE honours the original Jets history I think they should also bring back the Avco Cup and have it presented in its new home....MTS CENTRE!
What does everyone else think? Right now I believe the cup sits at the MB Sports Hall of Fame (not sure if that is even still in the Bay downtown).

Maybe do that as a tie-in with the unveiling of the third jerseys in the second season if they decide to go with something that honors the old WHA logos as opposed to the NHL logos. Either way, I don't think they need to do it this season as there's going to be too much excitement just from the team being here that would overshadow that type of ceremony at least a little bit...

There's actually a few Avco World Cups. I know that one of them is at the U.S Hockey Hall of Fame and, for a while, there was one at the children's museum at the Forks. It'd be great to have one as part of a display at the MTS Centre though.

The Avco Cup is proudly displayed at the new Sport For Life Centre at 145 Pacific Avenue.

Not sure where the third is sitting. |
