At 11 AM this morning, a new head coach was announced for the Winnipeg franchise as Claude Noel replaces Craig Ramsay. However, the nickname was not announced, although there are strong rumors from reliable sources that the Winnipeg franchise will be called the Jets. Ever since the franchise was announcing that it was bought by True North Sports and Entertainment group, the intent to move the ex-Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg was on, which left many a Winnipeger to clamor for a return to the Jets name. The jerseys won't be introduced until later, so tonight's draftee by Winnipeg will be having the generic black and silver NHL jerseys. The name won't be formally announced until just before the team makes its first round pick, which is 7th overall, but by the time it gets announced, it will have been the "Duh Heard Around the World."
