As National Hockey League (NHL) teams® opened their training camps in preparation for another exciting season, Canada Post recognizes the iconic jerseys of the seven Canadian NHL teams and the passion of their fans in a series of commemorative stamps.

The team is owned by True North Sports & Entertainment, which relocated and re-named the former Atlanta Thrashers franchise prior to the 2011–12 NHL season (the first NHL franchise relocation since the Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997).
The team plays its home games at the MTS Centre, and take their name after Winnipeg's original WHA/NHL team (which relocated in 1996 to become the Phoenix Coyotes).
