The Winnipeg Jets have a dedicated fan base, but one superfan stands out among the rest. Meet John Smith, a die-hard Jets fan who has never missed a game since the team’s inception in 2011.
Smith’s love for the Jets began when he attended their first game in Winnipeg after the team relocated from Atlanta. From that moment on, he was hooked. “I’ve been a fan of the Jets since day one,” Smith said. “I’ve never missed a game, whether it’s home or away.”
Smith’s dedication to the team is unmatched. He has attended every home game at Bell MTS Place and has traveled to every away game, no matter the distance. “I’ve been to every single game, even if it means flying across the country,” Smith said. “I just can’t miss a game.”
His passion for the Jets goes beyond just attending games. Smith is also known for his elaborate game day outfits, which often include a custom-made Jets jersey with his name and number on the back. “I like to show my support for the team in any way I can,” Smith said. “My game day outfits are just another way for me to do that.”
Smith’s dedication has not gone unnoticed by the team. He has become a familiar face to players and staff, and has even been invited to team events and practices. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the team,” Smith said. “I just love being a part of the Jets community.”
As the Jets continue to make their mark in the NHL, Smith will be there every step of the way, cheering them on. “I’ll never stop supporting this team,” Smith said. “They mean everything to me.”
Smith’s unwavering dedication to the Jets serves as an inspiration to fans and players alike. He is a true superfan, and his love for the team is a testament to the strong bond between the Jets and their fans.
