WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have already set a record this season, but it’s nothing to cheer about. The team drew 11,136 fans for its 4-2 win over the St.
The team drew 11,136 fans for its 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday at Canada Life Centre, the lowest attendance without COVID-19 pandemic restrictions since the NHL club relocated to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011. Capacity at the downtown arena is 15,325.
“We’ve got all these various challenges that are affecting the Manitoba economy right now,” Davidson told The Canadian Press this week. The highest Jets attendance this season was the Saturday afternoon home opener on Oct. 14, when former Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice and the Stanley Cup-finalist Florida Panthers attracted 13,410 fans. The Los Angeles Kings drew 11,226 three days later, while the Oct. 19 game against the defending Stanley Cup-champion Vegas Golden Knights drew 11,521.
Davidson, who’s had season tickets with a group since 2011, said companies may not be aware Jets tickets are more readily available these days and he’ll encourage Manitoba chamber members to look at options. Winnipeg’s poor performance on the ice also drew criticism. It has only won three playoff rounds since returning to Manitoba, one in 2021 and two in 2018. It was bounced out of the first round of the playoffs last season in five games by Vegas.
