The Moose? What a silly name that would be. |

![]() The Moose moved into Winnipeg to replace the Jets in the AHL (high level minor league hockey). They are owned and operated by the guys buying the Thrashers, and they spent a lot of money marketing the Moose brand. They average over 10,000 fans per game, which is insane for a minor league team. The Moose draw comparable crowds to the Phoenix Coyotes, and indeed what the Thrashers were drawing in Atlanta. The team has a strong, passionate fanbase and great support among young people. A lot of people in Winnipeg would be happy if they named the team the Moose (though they'd obviously prefer the Jets). |

The Jets is purely out of nostalgia. It seems a lot of people around me want the name back, and not the actual hockey (as they express disinterest in paying to go to games). They should start a wholly new brand as the start of a new era in hockey. |

Alternatively, they could go with Moose or Falcons (or whatever else) and use the Jets jerseys as alternates/throwbacks. One of the biggest reasons they're rumored to be avoiding the Jets brand is because so many people alredy own a shit ton of Jets merchandise. In the above scenario they could have the best of both worlds. |

The six (now seven) Canadian teams make up over 1/3 of the NHL's revenue, despite there being 23 teams in the US. Canada needs two more teams, honestly. One in Quebec City and one in Hamilton, Ontario. |

There has been 1850 corporate season tickets sold already, and they go on sale to the public on Saturday. I would bet a large sum of money that they'll sell out in minutes. Winnipeg is going to give the Thrashers the fanbase they deserve, and with our enthusiasm could push them into doing well. |

As far as ticket sales go: http://www.driveto13.com/ They're already over 4,000 and thus far only season ticket holders and corporate sponsors from the Moose have been given the chance to purchase. So 13,000 seats will be season tickets. Set aside 500 for player comps and various promotions and you're looking at just over 1,500 tickets available for general admission for each game. The team is already set up for success. They have quite a few good prospects, very few unrestricted free agents, some decent draft picks, and a lock-down defender in Dustin Byfuglien. The thing that has always been standing in the way of the teams' success is its ownership group, Atlanta Spirits. Basically, Atlanta Spirits is a group of dipshits that wanted the Atlanta Hawks and their arena, and the Thrashers were basically thrown in as part of the deal. They never wanted to own a hockey team, they have no idea how to market hockey, and they have no idea how to run a hockey team. Chipman and Thompson are going to put the right guys in place in Winnipeg and this team is going to contend for a seven or eight seed in the East next year. |

Holy shit. http://www.driveto13.com/waitlist.php There's already a waiting list for future ticket packs. The most expensive seats in the house were a five year commitment for a total of over 60 thousand dollars, and they sold them out instantly. |
