- Here is the history of the origins of the whiteout in Winnipeg, its effect on the team and fans, and how the city has hung onto the tradition decades later.

My last whiteout game was with my dad, who is no longer here today. Our passion is so strong that we created a great phenom
This brought a tear to my eye . The last time my team won the League, I was homeless. They were literally all I had. Respect from Arsenal FC, England. I hope these fans get a Cup someday!
I don’t like arsenal but I respect you and the arsenal fans who supported the jets. I’m also a Liverpool FC fan
I got to see this presentation last night before the game. My son was in my arms smiling. In the end, it brought tears to my eyes. Call me a wussie. I Don't Care. I wish I was apart of the 80s and 90s Jets. But it wasn't in the plans. But what was in the plans, was for me to discover our beloved Jets on 21 December 2014. ...And I am damn proud to be apart of this team and apart of all you and the city of Winnipeg.

hell yeah frankie
You don't EVER , EVER HAVE To apologize for feeling ANY kind of emotion.
I live here. I LIVED through it. I FELT those same feelings. And in the fall of 1996 I felt a part of my soul die. It then felt like those same gods that I thought hated us and our city ..one of them was in the back chilling going 'Imma answer a Winnipeg prayer' and boom. Never again. The Jets are HOME and ALL of us are keeping it Forever together.
When the Jets finally win the Stanley Cup, I hope they win the clinching game on home ice.
I hope so and I am a predators fan
Me too
Anything can happen
Are Jets fans still that passionate in the NHL 23/24 season ?
@@tudormiller887We sure are! Gonna be a crazy whiteout tonight, GO JETS GO!
Goosebumps... this team shoulda never left-oilers fan
I'm a Los Angeles Kings Fan but I'm cheering for the Jets. Its about time that this team gets its chance!
5:07 that goal gives me goosebumps... Blake Wheeler!! I hope I can one day see Captain Wheeler hoist the Stanley Cup!
I had to laugh - spotted myself at 1:41 - passenger in the white car, face painted white with my blue bomber horn. I remember getting filmed. Too funny!
really?
Right on, great times
Absolute beauty
I ❤ the old style WJ logo. 😊
Why would they take a team away from a city like Winnipeg
The old Jets franchise in the 90s was on the brink of financial meltdown. The owner tried everything, but the economics simply didn't work. Things have changed for the better.
Yup, the Jets are now a Cup contender while the Coyotes continue to be a joke, missing the playoffs for 6 consecutive seasons.
Do a search of average attendance in the NHL from 1979 to 1995 and you will see one reason.
Still a jets fan, even though I live in bc now. But my son and I love our team! Our jets will fly 4ever!
Best group of fans in sports
great video piece by SN. this brought flashbacks for sure...the winnipeg whiteout was a sight to see in the 80's and early 90's. and it's def a beautiful sight in 2018....as much as EDM won their cups i'm sure the winnipeg arena was not a pleasant situation to be involved in. hoping the jets can make a deep p-off run now and beyond. great fans.
as much as i dislike bettman i'm glad the jets were brought back to winnipeg. it was a shame the team left in '95 to begin with. i'm pretty confident now that the city, fans, and owners can keep the jets going for the long term and be competitive with the demands of today's nhl economics.
winnipeg, wishing you success , as long as it's not against my red wings LOL!
one last thing, drop your current uniforms (they suck) and bring back either the originals or the variation uniforms used til '95.
Steven A. There uniforms have grown on me and I'd even say their road jerseys are the best in the league
jared that's good that you have taken a liking to the current uniforms. as i thought about it i kinda do like the nameplate font (futuristic) and the numbers are ok too. they're not the worst out there but def not the best outright or within WPG's history. i'm old school and really like the one's they used from '79-80 til 89-'90.
curtiswalker.com/jets/uniforms.aspx
i have an idea that would work for everyone, they could keep what they have and use that 79-89 jersey as an alternate, using it perhaps, like 20x per season.
enjoy the p-off's, WPG is really looking good for a WCF appearance and more, regardless of their jersey look :D
Steven A. I agree those are great jerseys and wearing the occasional throwback would be cool
Btw I'm a fellow wings fan that likes to root for the jets so lets go red wings but right now GO JETS GO!
great reply jared, can't disagree with what you wrote. red wings got a long way to get back, to be honest i picked NSH to win the series but being wrong about the jets is nothing to be ashamed of.
these 2 teams really are evenly matched and it can still go either way. what's gonna break NSH's back is penalties taken and pekka in net. he really looked sketchy in gm 1and an extent gm 2. that gm 3 comeback is def gonna build WPG's confidence too.
i think this is the best series and will probably be the best one aside from the SCF. whoever wins this , i believe can beat vegas.
enjoy and cheers from southern ontario :D
That 1990 playoff collapse vs the Oilers. Never have I been so angry …..
4:56 I remember that sign i saw recreated in the 2015 playoffs, smart idea from whoever did 5:33
God I would love a cup final between Toronto and Winnipeg
At O:15 the portrait of the queen at the end of the Arena i miss that
I've always wondered why the fans always wear white. This is the answer
Towel power as it was originally called was the brainchild the late Roger Neilson while coaching the Vancouver Canucks during a playoff game where the officiating was to say the least one sided, he placed a white towel on the end of a hockey stick and waved it in "surrender" ,there is a statue commemorating the event outside of Rogers Arena in Vancouver B.C.
I bet if you took the years the Jets were defunct until 2018 their average attendance is still better than the Coyotes through those years.
I live in Winnipeg and it's still tough to tickets. It sells out every night.
They've sold out every night since they came back in 2011
Darrion Roberts I think that's including the 15 years it was empty without a team
Its going to be akward seeing a cyotoes jets playoff matchp. Especially since the cyotoes still do a whiteout
Not anymore 😂
Jets bring the cup home. We deserve it you deserve it Winnipeg deserves it go JETS go
I wonder if those original fans still exist
Musicrecords10 yes they do
We're the reason they're back
I was born in 1996 in winnipeg the summer after the Jets left. My dad has 3 sons who he took to moose games and hoped to hope for the jets with. He is the most hardcore out of all of us but it is amazing to see our dream of winnipeg returning come to life not to mention the fact that we all get to watch the jets dominate in playoffs together. We are truly lucky.
But yes, the original fans do exist.
Good luck this year - rangers fan
I'm an original Jets fan. I've been one since 1981.
Good argument as to the meaning of Fans in Sports. Does it affect the players? I think so.
*JETS FOR THE CUP*
Bring back the Nordique
Im zParanoid chill dude
Im zParanoid Panthers relocate to Quebec in 2021
unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's happening anytime soon... #Bettman
euginate13 it have been to long that I’ve been waiting
Why am I crying in the club right now
1:37 There Should Bring Back This song
But PLEASE REMOVE the line "white is right" 🤣🤣🤣
#GoJetsGo!
Damn that was chilling! Go Jets!
I'm glad that when the Yotes took over during the early years when the team was in the playoffs in the late 90's, they kept the white out.
The Whiteout is a Winnipeg thing. Yotes should have come up with their own tradition, something like the Sandstorm
@@sjdrifter72 thats not actually a bad idea. Everyone wear brown
well if calgary has this red thing going on then didnt they start it?
Could someone please tell me if the rival between the present Jets and Oilers are just as bad as the old Jets and Oilers??
I just look at this with a lot of envy.i felt the same way about the Hartford whalers.
GO JETS GO!!!!!!
Penn State
very cool. too bad they didn't use their old jerseys. those were sweet. the new one looks like one of the higher ups let their 10 year old play with photoshop and just went with it.
Phoenician here.....I know hockey isnt popular in Arizona.....but I adopted the coyotes like the suns, cardinals and dbacks
Phoenix is a transplant city, most of the sports fans here have their allegiances to their home teams. The local AZ teams only get bandwagon support when they do well and make the playoffs.
Go jets Go!#!♡♡♡♡♡°360☆☆☆☆☆
looking through the stands and see a row of reds in nosebleed
Damn, the Arizona Coyotes have an awesome history!
I see what you did there
....when they were in the right city.
The WHA Jets put Winnipeg on the map.
The Roadrunners, OTOH, did not put Phoenix on the map.
The Coyotes are a poverty franchise. They should give the Original Jets' history back to the current Winnipeg Jets.
@@Pokemonmaster150bWinnipeg is struggling too though.
1:43 DON CHERRY FOR PRIME MINISTER
Whiteout party is near
#34
Hopefully the jets win in 2021!!!!!
Me too and I am from California
maybe 2024
So if the arena was jam packed and stuff, why did they move? Politics?
Canadian dollar was around 62 cents, since revenues came in in Canadian dollars and salaries and expenses were paid in US dollars Canadian teams had slightly more than half the spending power of US teams. That and TV revenues and stuff like that. Now the dollar is more reasonable and Canadian teams get better TV deals
The facility was obsolete even before 1990. The old arena had nothing in the way of luxury boxes, so even if the Jets had sold out every game, the team still would not have been viable.
If the jets wouldn’t have lost hawyrchuk to injury that one year they would’ve beat the oilers and then won the cup. Change my mind please
The Oilers had Wayne Gretzky. End of story.
A sea of white
2ez
A bunch of people dressed in all white booing a black man (Subban) the jokes write themselves
Goals for kids
seems a little desperate, but feels like home
The arena was all white in multiple ways lol (all white people)
PetroFor3 the are more Indians and blacks than you think...
Dumb comment is dumb
Greyson Mitchell most people at the games are white..just a joke about the perceived lack of diversity
Maybe there in edmonton.... in the 70's. Have you ever seen Toronto's or Vancouver's stadium with fans? Indian and Asian people make up quite a lot of the stands, that you cannot 'not' see it
Greyson Mitchell I’ve never been to any of these stadiums or games I’m going off the video when I saw a bunch of white people..stop being offended so easily it’s a joke
Something wrong with a building filled with white people?
Preds in 4 sorry
anddddddddddddd no, but you made me laugh
Lol definitely not, it seems. But they could still take it :s
How's that prediction going for ya bud? We are taking it home tonight. Goodnight Predators.
Expecting the "We want Vegas" chant tonight!
How did that work out for ya? Lol
for some reason this whole thing doesn’t sit right with me
Why? Do you even live here?
SHE DOESNT EVEN GO HERE!!
lmfao i got out thankfully
Jets let their team go :) Still Atlanta's team.
the owners are winnipegers that basically had a to build a team since 2011. what was given to us was NOT a Stanley cup playoff team
.......and what about the Flames?
Go Back to the Original logo the new logo sucks
E DLT
Put new logo on the shoulders
E DLT I couldn’t agree with you anymore on that one. Those throwbacks that they wore in the outdoor game against Edmonton was just sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥 some of the best hockey jerseys ever..
nah it's good
- They CAN'T because that old logo still belongs to the original franchise that's in Arizona now, they can't just transfer the old Jets' logo over to the new Jets. The new Jets were originally based in Atlanta & have NO connections to the 'original' Jets. So just leave it alone!
I do love the new logo but i wish they would use the old one too.
This is racist
says the guy with 3 "K's" in his last name.........
lol, nice one...
Troll .You don,t even live here.
Yeah, I was joking
