In a shocking development this morning, according to sources, the Florida Panthers have officially announced that they would be moving to Winnipeg at the end of this season and will be called the Winnipeg Jets. Since 1996, Winnipeg has been without an NHL team and even though the team has been trying to find funds for a new arena, it was the Panthers' inability to draw a respectable house combined with the team's inability to even make the playoffs in the past decade that forced NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's hand. Who exactly will own the ex-Panthers/soon-to-be Winnipeg Jets team is unclear, but hockey fans across Canada are rejoicing at the news. Fans in Miami were unavailable for comment, as they were too busy working on their tans or recovering from their hangovers from the night before.
