Winnipeg has a wide range of professional
sports teams.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers
The Blue Bombers are Winnipeg's Canadian
Football League team. Although they haven't done too well
over the last few years, the Bombers have been showing signs of
improvement. The Bombers have won several Grey Cups, the
last being in 1990 vs. the Edmonton Eskimos. With the
hiring of Lyle Bauer as GM and COO, the 2000 season should prove
to be the turning point, both on the field and
financially.

The Winnipeg Jets
Gone, but not forgotten, the Winnipeg Jets
were Winnipeg's NHL team. Not terribly successful in the
NHL, the Jets reigned in the WHA, winning several AVCO Cups.
Despite huge fan rallies, the Jets moved to
Phoenix, and became the Phoenix Coyotes.
