Atlanta Thrashers sold to True North, moving to Winnipeg - ESPN

The Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg. Honestly who thought that a hockey could survive in Atlanta anyways?

WooHooo!!!!!!!!!!

Wild suck. Might be a good trip to head North, let Smokey buy me many beers, and hit a game.

Wonder what the new name will be? It can't possibly be worse than the Wild (WTF is a Wild).

I heard that management doesn't want to call them The Winnipeg Jets, though honestly not calling them that is shooting themselves in the foot pretty badly.

WINNIPEG -- True North Sports and Entertainment reached its goal of selling 13,000 season tickets for Winnipeg's new NHL team, and it happened only minutes after online sales to the general public began at noon on Saturday.

The tickets sold out in just 17 minutes, but the company said the online queue was actually full in two minutes and that the remaining 15 minutes were required to process the sales.

Good job Winterpeg

I have been rocking a Winnipeg Jets hat for a few months now. Guess it will be more in style next year. I will have to road trip up there for a game next winter for sure. Guess I will have to get a passport now.
