The Jets managed to qualify for the eighth and final playoff Western Conference playoff berth in their final season in Winnipeg. The Jets were eliminated in the first round in six games by the Presidents' Trophy winners, the Detroit Red Wings. The NHL returned to Winnipeg following the 2010–11 season, when the Atlanta Thrashers became the "new" Winnipeg Jets. In 2026, the present-day Jets reclaimed the original Jets' records and statistics from 1972 to 1996. As a result, the Jets franchise was retconned as inactive from 1996 to 1999 (as the Thrashers) while the Coyotes were reclassified as an expansion team starting in 1996–97.NHL Announces Consolidation of Winnipeg Jets' History https://media.nhl.com/public/news/20034 September 24, 2026 NHL.com September 24, 2026Van Diest Derek 2026-09-24 Jets stats to include both iterations of franchise, Scheifele now chasing Hawerchuk again NHL.com https://www.nhl.com/news/winnipeg-jets-statistical-history-now-includes-atlanta-thrashers-history 2026-09-29 www.nhl.com en Off-season The interim label was removed from head coach Terry Simpson's title on June 20.Simpson named Winnipeg head coach - UPI Archives https://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/06/20/Simpson-named-Winnipeg-head-coach/9382803620800/ UPI September 9, 2023 June 20, 1995 The Jets picked Shane Doan of the Kamloops Blazers as their first-round pick, seventh overall.

As Winnipeg was the League's second-smallest market (eventually becoming the smallest market after the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1995), the Jets were unable to retain their best players. Various schemes were devised to save the team through a tremendous grassroots effort and government funds, but in the end, the efforts were not enough. Despite strong fan support, the Winnipeg Jets were at a financial disadvantage with many American franchises. The team was sold to Phoenix businessmen Steven Gluckstern and Richard Burke, and in 1996, the club moved to Arizona and became the Phoenix Coyotes. In the summer that the move took place, the franchise saw the exit of Jets stars like Teemu Selanne and Alexei Zhamnov, while the team added established superstar Jeremy Roenick from the Chicago Blackhawks. Roenick teamed up with power wingers Keith Tkachuk and Rick Tocchet to form a dynamic 1–2–3 offensive punch that led the Coyotes through their first years in Arizona. Also impressive were young players Shane Doan (who was the last remaining original Jet active in the NHL), Oleg Tverdovsky and goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin, whom the fans nicknamed the "Bulin Wall."
