Welcome Back NHL
I'm not sure if you have heard the news or not yet, but Winnipeg got an NHL team back. True story! Of course this has had us all talking about the name of the team, which is the Jets, the logo, which is pretty damn classy and the coming of this 2011-2012 NHL season. With all that, we wanted to build a little something for everyone.
Enter http://www.welcomebacknhl.net as a little project we put together for kicks. Go there and grab the JavaScript code. Drop it into your website and a handy little Jets logo will appear in the top right corner. The logo is linked to the Jets website, making it easy for you to keep track of all the latest news.
Did we mention that we can't wait for the start of the 2011 NHL season? Don't get us wrong, we love summer. But winter this year is going to be awesome. Enjoy!
