Back in 2021 the Jets had a big changeover with the team designating nine new jersey numbers for that season. This year the team today announced that there will be six players rocking these jersey numbers when they don a Winnipeg uniform in 2023-24:

Alex Iafallo – 9
Gabe Vilardi – 13
Rasmus Kupari – 15
Jeffrey Viel – 28
Laurent Brossoit – 39
(previously he wore 30 with the Jets)
Collin Delia – 60

As we usually do when players take on new numbers we look at which players wore it previously in Jets history:

#9 – Andrew Copp (2016-22), Evander Kane (2010-2015)
#13 – Zach Sandord (2022), Pierre-Luc Dubois (2021), Brandon Tanev (2016-2019), Kyle Wellwood (2012-2013)
#15 – Matt Hendricks (2018-2019), Matt Halischuk (2014-2016), Mike Santorelli (2013), Tanner Glass (2012)
#28 – Kevin Stenlund (2023), Nathan Beaulieu (2022), Jack Roslovic (2019-2020), Patrice Cormier (2012-2016)
#39 – Jeff Malott (2022), Toby Enstrom (2008-2018)
#60 – None (Prospect Domenic DiVincentiis wore 60 in a Young Stars Game)

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
