Winnipeg | NHL Jets

I'd love to see a layout of that level of the arena. So much happening down there.

Yeah same, I tried looking for a layout online but couldn't find one.

I always assumed the moose used the same dressing room but I guess thats a no.

[pegcityboy]

No Moose lockerroom location is by the NHLs visitors dressing room behind section 109/111 on the southeast corner of event level . There is also performers lockerroom there for concert acts .

Ehlers may be the missing piece that puts Carolina over the top, and to the Stanley Cup. Good for him. He deserves to lift the cup.

I'm still rooting for the Habs though. And anyone but Vegas.

NOW we'll see those top-end players lining up to join the Jets!!!

That's certainly not lost on management in the press realase.

The renovation will benefit player performance and wellness with enhanced strength and conditioning spaces and a circadian lighting system which mimics natural lighting. State-of-the-art technology and amenities, a leading-edge medical treatment and therapy facility and an enhanced athletic workout space, complemented by elevated finishes and aesthetics, will position the Jets facility among the top tier in the NHL and serve as an asset for player attraction and retention.

Yeah I guess they have to pay attention to every detail to make this market more attractive.

I used to be a big Ehlers supporter. I do hold it against him for leaving though. I think he really hurt the Jets competitiveness when he left - he played a big role on this team. And all the BS about him wanting to play on a top line? He's mostly on the 3rd and 4th line in Carolina. The worst thing though? After how things ended for Schiefele last year, with him in the box and his father dying - I really expected all of his teammates to rally around him this past season and make another run at things. Especially a guy like Ehlers who played with Schiefele so long. I get that Ehlers is allowed to be selfish but I still can't forgive him for leaving his brother like that.

Ehlers played for the Jets for 10 seasons. I do not fault him for leaving. It's not like he wanted out of Winnipeg right from the beginning, unlike some people (Kane, Trouba, Roslovic, PLD, McGroarty, etc).

Ehlers was a UFA, and had every right to choose to play in a different place, for various reason. He was an integral part of the Jets and I will always be grateful for his time as a Jet.

I absolutely 100% support Ehlrs in his decision. Does it suck for Winnipeg. Yup. His usage, Ie: stuck behind Connor, would be the main driver behind his decision. Being on PP2 for literal years also another factor. Just his usage..

[drew]

Watching Carolina, you can see what Ehlers brings to the table, and how much it is missed by the Jets.

He is extremely fast, and unpredictable. He doesn't play a straight north/south game and his unpredictability creates offense. You can also see why his coaches would get a bit stressed out by him as well.

He is amazing on the Carolina PP. As he was his last season here with the Jets.

Since i highly doubt we will see a new arena anytime soon, would love to see TNSE do an upper bowl renovation in line with what is being done in Salt Lake to the Delta Center. The terraces look great

I think the Jets will eventually need to add a second ring of box seats, perhaps at the top, in order to stay competitive. The main issue right now, is the corporate support is lacking, compared to other teams. I think roughly 1,500 tickets are distributed to businesses. Chipman himself said that needs to increase substantially

If the Jets could get Manitoba businesses to gobble up over 4,000 seats, it would alleviate the pressure on the community to pack the CLC. The threshold has already been reached, and not enough people in the market are able to afford tickets, without taking a substantial financial hit.

The terrace-style ledges and gondolas are pretty neat concepts.





here's a video of the Delta Center 2026 renovation:

Thats been neat to convert the upper bowl ends at Canada Life to a loge terrace thing. Not sure if there is any room for skyboxes up there. TNSE has said before raising rhe roof is impossible. Maybe they could fit something but not sure its be worth the effort and if there even demand for that. I'd focus on things like the loges for premium pricing experiences.

Well sure, if you are going to compare Ehlers to a bunch of players who never wanted to play in Winnipeg and ignore my main point about Ehlers abandoning his grieving brother, then yes...I agree. Ehlers was an integral part of the Jets.

I just don't understand how you can walk out on your brother like that. Great hockey player but I absolutely question him as a team mate.

I assume you are referring to Scheifele? His father died in 2025, before Game 6 when the Jets were in Dallas. After the game, the team was eliminated, and everyone, including Ehlers, consoled Scheif.

You can't seriously be expecting him to stick around for his entire career, due to a teammate's father passing away peacefully? That makes virtually no sense.

No, that would be a ridiculous expectation.

That team won the presidents trophy. Were we the best team in the league? Probably not But we were close. You don't give up on a strong team like that and a guy like Schiefele unless you are a shitty teammate. I will die on that hill.

You are probably a better person than me BlackDog, but I just can't see how Ehlers deserves any accolades after giving up like that after being so close and under those circumstances. He's a total coward.

I'm no better or worse than anyone else. Just saying that it's a business, and players will do what is best for their families. One can hardly fault a guy that is pushing 30, for opting to play in a market with literally zero state tax, warmer weather, and living in relative obscurity.

The Jets will always be at a disadvantage for these reasons. This is one of the reasons why the team underperformed in the playoffs in 2024 and 2025. Very few players wanted to waive their no movement clause (which usually has Winnipeg as a place they do not want to play in), and as a result, we were at a disadvantage come playoff time.
