Winnipeg Jets Continue A Touching Thrashers' Tradition

As a Thrashers' fan, this is very touching.

Below is a video of the awards given out after the final Jets game of the 2011-2012 season. And the moment I'm referring to happens at around 3:15.

I did a very indepth entry on this back in July of last year before the Hockey Cop refocus.

I won't redo the entire post here, but among other things: I wanted the Dan Snyder Memorial Award to continue as a small tribute to not only Dan, but to stand as a small nod to the Jets' history in Atlanta. And they way the number 37 was shown, it seems more and more likely that number will be unofficially retired within the organization, just as it was in Atlanta.

Thank you Jets for carrying on this tradition.
