Its no secret that the Winnipeg Jets struggled massively with poor attendance issues last season.

This was a massive point of concern for Jets fans as the historic franchise was rumoured to be in jeopardy once again and the threat of relocation was looming.
The Jets are struggling to draw fans to Canada Life Centre, the NHL's smallest permanent arena with a capacity of 15,225 for hockey games. Despite icing a competitive team the Jets have the second-lowest average attendance at 13,098. According to the article by The Athletic, Winnipeg's season-ticket base has decreased 27 per cent in three years from approximately 13,000 to just under 9,500.

Despite the struggles last season, the Jets faithful are poised to rally back this season and show the NHL this team is here to stay. The Winnipeg Jets arguably have the best fanbase in the NHL and have demonstrated that historically.
Things continue to be bullish for the Jets heading into next season. With Connor Hellebuyk leading the charge by winning his second Vezina, the Jets are primed for a massive season which should send shockwaves down the NHL.
