NHL alters start times for Winnipeg Jets home games after province dumps time change
With the province of Manitoba recently announcing the move to permanent Daylight Saving Time, the NHL has changed the start times for 12 home games this season.
The province of Manitoba is set to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time, which has prompted the Winnipeg Jets to adjust the start times for 12 of their regular season home games. Most of these games, which typically begin at 6 p.m., will now kick off at 7 p.m. from November 1 to March 13. This change affects games against Vegas, Utah, Chicago, Dallas, San Jose, Calgary, and Anaheim, among others.
Additionally, several weekday games will now start at 7:30 p.m. These modifications are intended to accommodate the national broadcasts. Manitoba's Saturday Night Hockey, formerly Hockey Night in Canada, will also shift back an hour until the clocks change on November 1. This adjustment impacts not only the Jets but also many of their road games, which will also begin an hour later throughout the winter.
Fans should be prepared to stay up an extra hour to watch the end of Jets games when they are played away from Manitoba. The Jets' pre-season schedule kicks off on October 2 at home against the Boston Bruins.
