The news broke in May 2011: the Winnipeg Jets were returning to the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 2011-2012 season. Jubilant fans took to the streets to celebrate. Although 15 years have passed since Winnipeg's last NHL season, the bond between the city and the Jets remains as strong as ever.The team's new logo plays an important role in the launch of this new 21st-century team. The fighter jet, the centerpiece of the logo since 1972, is at the heart of the stylized motif, enhanced by sharp lines that highlight Canada's rich aeronautical heritage. The blue and silver tones typical of the Air Force are enhanced by a red maple leaf in the background. There's every reason to believe that the team will rise to great heights thanks to the impetus of field hockey enthusiasts.
The AMH didn't last long. By 1979, most of its teams had been disbanded, with the exception of its best team, the Winnipeg Jets, who transferred to the NHL until 1996. Today, fans are eagerly awaiting the rebirth of field hockey in Winnipeg.
