news/sports director and voice of the GP Storm - a Manitoba product himself – rejoices the return of the NHL to Winnipeg with his 10 Best Jets of all time.

All-time leader in goals and points. And as I found out playing with him in an oldtimers game in Fort Mac, someone with as little talent as me could even score a few goals with him as center.

Dale HawercHuk

Gave the WHA Jets instant credibility when he signed with them – backed it up on ice with 4, 50+ goal and 100+ point seasons – 3 WHA titles, en route to the Jets being accepted into the NHL.

BoBBY Hull

76 goals as a rookie and one of the most likeable players in Jets history (note to Kevin Cheveledayoff - he is still available as a free agent).

teemu selanne

Four seasons with the WHA Jets; at least 50 goals and 100 points in each season.

Never had fewer than 114 points in any of his four seasons with the WHA Jets. He and Hedberg played a big part in extending Hull’s career.

ulf nilsson

A rarity in sports today - played his entire career with the Jets and excelled in the process. And unlike most Jets of the past, he stayed in the ‘Peg after his career where he is now a city councillor.

tHomas steen

Like him or not (and several Jets’ fans did not after his contract dispute with the club), Tkachuk was a rarity with the Jets - one of only 3 players (Hawerchuk and Selanne the others) to score 50 goals in a season with the NHL Jets.

keitH tkacHuk

Was a steadying force on what was otherwise a young Jets’ blueline in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. Then moved behind the bench as an assistant once playing career was done.

Scored 30-or-more goals in six of his seven seasons with the Jets, including 3 seasons of 40 or more.

Paul maclean

The Jets first NHL star. A pure goal scorer. And was not afraid to drop the gloves if needed.
