And despite all the years that have ticked by, we find ourselves together again with Our Team. It was meant to be!
When they left a long time ago it was so sad. We were too small a market – not enough of this, too much of that. Kinda like when your BF/GF tells you s/he needs more space, but you know,
“It’s not you, it’s me” – they left ‘cos it was just bad timing — leaving was the wrong move, but it was for for all the right reasons. We were heartbroken when our team left. Diehard fans KNEW they’d be back, and we’d be reunited with our team. There is no city that is as deep in love with hockey than my Winnipeg. The Jets loved us and we loved them but it just wasn’t meant to be – back then.
And now, the world has changed. Our buck is worth more than the US buck, we know much more, we’re more worldly – more confident. We have a great building, a home for our team. Things are so different today – and so, the Jets came home.
Here are some of the party pics from today’s celebrations. Go Jets Go! (Stay Jets Stay)
the Boss says
I left Winnipeg 6 years ago. I wish I was back now. Great photos, looks like a fun party. I miss the Peg more now.
