Hello all! I am from Cleveland, Ohio and I have just adopted the Jets as my new favorite team. ( I am also a Leafs fan). I have three reasons why I have adopted the Jets: 1. As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, I was so glad when TN brought back the Jets name, as we lost our Browns and got our name back also, so I can relate to Jets fans. 2.. We do not have an NHL team here in Cleveland. 3. As a child I saw the WHA Jets a couple of times here at the old Cleveland Arena playing the Crusaders! This is a no brainer for me to have the Jets as my new NHL team. Sorry for the long rant. Love the support from Cleveland! Me, although the Browns were never my favourite NFL team when I was growing up (that was always the Saints), I now find myself always cheering for the Browns. Yeah, our 2 cities now have a whole lot in common! Thanks Ric! Our two cities are similar in this respect; Cleveland is an insane, diehard football town! As is Winnipeg the same with hockey. It would have sucked if the team would have been named anything else but Browns when we got the team back, fans were screaming for the name back( Cleveland Bulldogs? forget about it!) and we got it! Same as Winnipeg fans! Two peas in a pod are we!

Ah, so nice to see so many familiar names over here!! I'm glad to be back, but coming at you now from the Columbus, OH area for this season. I'm working on finding someone to take over pictures from Phoenix, for us to laugh at, and for Quebec to use as ammo, and i will also provide ones from Jackets games. Planning on being in Winnipeg Oct 7-10th, ticket or no ticket. But if anyone wants to help get me in the MTS Center on Oct 9th, PM me!!!

And nice to have you here now AllyK! Sorry to hear you moved out of Glendale...I'm really going to miss those pics!
Oct 9 is going to be the toughest ticket in sports as you know, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if someone got you in... doesn't hurt to ask, that's for sure.

Trust me, i really considered staying for nothing else but to remain a Coyotes ticket holder and to get pictures; but things at work were just to bad, and i had to get out. I figure if i keep asking until the day of the game, it might up my odds. Or just work a LOT of overtime at the new job and pay the $600 bucks on TicketStub......regardless, at least i will be in the city. I'm sure there are many people unable to go to the game who will be more than happy to meet at a bar for a viewing party....

I know you weren't too happy there overall so I'm sure you made the right move. Anyway, pretty much every TV in every bar and pub in the province will have that game on so stay tuned! I'm sure there will be a whole pile of ROTJ'ers getting together. It's going to be quite a night!

I couldn't even think of going to a public forum at the free press.

Hello from Collingwood, Ontario! It's so good to have our team back. I finally have a team to cheer for again. This has completely renewed my interest for the game of hockey. Countdown is on to October 9th. Bring it on!
