It is with great sadness that I announce that the owner of Jetsowner.Com quietly let the domain expire last week. Jetsowner is no more. I remember when I first came upon the site around Christmas 2003. I thought to myself "I'm not the ONLY former Jets fan that believes Winnipeg can bring back the NHL? It was great. For an entire year, I was unaware that there was a message forum. Once I found it, I was hooked like a $20 crack whore. I needed my fix for at least 15 minutes a day for the next few years.
Fun times were had by all during the Jetsowner days. I recall the first big topic was fans chanting "GO JETS GO!" at the Ralph Englestead arena, during the 2005 World Junior Championships. Moosehockey.com members were not impressed. A month later, I attended the Pyramid Cabaret for my first Jetsowner.Com event. It was a fun time, and even though it started off slow, Dancin' Gabe showed up later on, as well as a hundred or so fans that had attended a Moose home game that night.
Tons of interesting characters too. BigChris, for all his faults, was very knowledgeable, and had some really interesting stories. RemyShanx, IceColdIan, Hattrick007, Dreamcatcher, Vivian, the Consultant, Jiffy, and several others I have lost count of. I recall all the animosity towards us from Moosehockey.com, but that could be the result of certain people trolling their forum (cough* Blackthorne cough*). It became the place to visit about return of the Jets info, especially after 2008. It certainly gave a lot of people hope.
Sad to see the site end, but it certainly was fun to be a member while it lasted. Jetsowner.Com RIP (2003-15).
