DerbyCoyote Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sorry if there's already a thread for asking stuff like this, but does anyone know whether Numminen or Selanne (before his trade) wore an A for the Jets in their final season?

DerbyCoyote Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 That's great, thanks Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 You could also try to see if Getty Images has any photos from back then. You just might confirm that or find a couple of exceptions where someone may have worn it a time or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can find pics of both of them sporting the A in the right jersey on there, but the dates on the pictures don't really match (the one of Teppo's dated 2000 for instance). Reckon Philly's right, but I know King missed the last ever game and got replaced by Tkachuk, and I reckon Teppo got the A on that one (link, that's him in the front isn't it?).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying King was the Jets captain during their last season, but Tkachuk wore the "C" for the one and only time during the last ever home game? I'd really like to confirm that if true. JeffB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Tkachuk was captain until Kris King was made captain for that last year.

JeffB According to Wikipedia here are the Captains of the Jets in the 90's. Dale Hawerchuk, Thomas Steen & Randy Carlyle (tri-captains) , 1989-90 Thomas Steen & Randy Carlyle (co-captains) , 1990-91 Troy Murray, 1991-93 Dean Kennedy, 1993 Keith Tkachuk, 1993-95 Kris King, 1995-96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that was the only time Tkachuk got upgraded that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
