Winnipeg Jets launch new slate of original content and Jets App enhancements 

WINNIPEG, Sept. 28, 2023 – The Winnipeg Jets will launch new original content series this season, including a new audio documentary premiering today.

Homecoming: The Return of The Winnipeg Jets is a four-part audio documentary hosted by Jets Sr. Host/Producer Sara Orlesky. Episode one is now available with a new episode streaming every Thursday for the next three weeks. The series will reflect on the lead-up to the NHL’s return to Winnipeg and the milestones of the first season.
