To facilitate my own healing from last year's playoff series, I'm offering a small piece of Jets history, no strings attached.
Back in 1995, my dad was on a plane when a bunch of large, well-dressed lads boarded. He asked what they did for a living. "Play hockey," was the answer, specifically, for the Winnipeg Jets. They were kind enough to pass around a piece of yellow legal pad paper (my dad always carried some) to collect a few signatures for his hockey-obsessed kid back in St. Louis.
It's been sitting in a drawer for a while, and I thought another hockey-obsessed kid (or adult) might like to have it. I know this team went on to become the Yotes and now the Mammoth, but this piece of history still feels like it belongs in Winnipeg.
Let me know if you'd like to have it, and just PM me your address.
All the names and numbers are clear except for one (pictured). The other names are:
- 8 Teemu Selanne
- 4 Dave Manson
- 29 Tim Cheveldae
- 55\g]) Jason Doig
- 30 Ed Ronan
- 2 Neil Wilkinson)
Best of luck this season, Jets! LGB!

Wow this is so generous of you! Don’t give it away to just anyone!
So fuckin cool
This has been claimed off of waivers.
That is so cool…..Teemu is the big name there. Neil Wilkinson was from my hometown……
That is very kind of you…may the hockey gods shine favorably on your Blues on all games that the Jets aren’t involved in! 🙂
That’s awesome, glad it’s going somewhere it’ll be appreciated and glad you thought to give it to our fans!
I think I found the missing signature: 36 [Stewart Malgunas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Malgunas)
