The Winnipeg Jets continued their summer-long process of blending two organizations into one on Thursday with the unveiling of the team's hockey operations department at the MTS Centre.

General Manager and Executive Vice-President Kevin Cheveldayoff added off-ice personnel with strong ties to the city's former American Hockey League affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, and the Jets' predecessors from Atlanta.

Cheveldayoff named former Moose fan favorite, Jimmy Roy, the Jets' Director of Player Development. Roy recently wrapped up a 15-year pro career that included time in North America and most recently in Europe with the Iserlohn Roosters of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

Roy, who turns 36 in September, holds the all-time Moose club record with 603 games and 102 goals. Known as a sparkplug enforcer, Roy also logged a franchise-high 1,434 penalty minutes during a nine-season run in Manitoba.

"For it to work out this way, it's a dream come true," Roy said.

Why are the Jets in the Pacific Division here?... They're still in the Eastern Conference in the NHL...

They havnt been put in a division yet, have they?

They're playing in the Southeast Division for this season and then next season they're probably moving into the Northwestern Division and Colorado is moving to the Central while Detroit moves to the Southeast/other East division.

You also may want to use the new Jets logo for the Thrashers instead of the Coyotes being the only Jets logo.

I think new logos are going to be worked on soon anyway, so that should be fixed someday in the future.
