Buy Your Columbus Blue Jackets Tickets and Watch Your Team Make History - By: Al Terry

Columbus Blue Jackets is a young team and yet whenever the Columbus Blue Jackets tickets are up for sale, they are completely sold out. Columbus Blue Jackets joined the NHL in 2000. They have yet to have any major success, but they are a very good team.

The Team

The Blue Jackets are based in Columbus, Ohio. The Blue Jackets are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. The name of the team refers to the participation of Ohio residents in the Union Army during the Civil War. A Stinger wearing a blue uniform is the mascot for the team. You will find the team draped in red, white, and blue, which are the team’s colors.

Nationwide Arena

The Blue Jackets play their home games at the Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio. The Nationwide Arena offers a sitting capacity of 18,500 for hockey and football matches. For basketball, the sitting capacity goes upto 19,500. When Columbus Blue Jackets take to the ice at the Nationwide Arena, Columbus Blue Jackets tickets soon vanish.

At present, the Blue Jackets are the only active team in the NHL to have not qualified for the Stanley Cup playoff even once. But that may change in 2007-2008 season. The last season had its ups and downs for the team. They began the 2006-2007 season with winning just five out of twenty games. Then under the leadership of new head coach, Ken Hitchcock, the team went to record 28-29-5.

New Beginning

Head Coach, Ken Hitchcock has been at the helm for a year now and has had enough time to prepare the team for the new season. With a new GM, Scott Howson, the Jackets have new hopes for the 2007-2008 season. However, they would need the support of their fans, cheering them on during their matches. This obviously means that you need to get your Columbus Blue Jackets tickets as soon as possible.

The team has recently acquired Michael Peca after signing a one year deal. Fans can also look forward to a new logo, which would happen in 2007-2008 season. In the coming season, the Blue Jackets would be taking on Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Phoenix Coyotes, Minnesota Wild, and Washington Capitals. You can catch the action live, if you have the Columbus Blue Jackets tickets.

The current roster features players like, Fredrik Norrena (goaltender), Pascal Leclaire (goaltender), Adam Foote (Captain), Kris Beech (forward), Jason Chimera, and Jody Shelley.

The Blue Jackets would soon be taking the ice to take on their opponents. They would be writing their history and as a fan, you must be there to cheer them on.
