Compared to most teams in the NHL, the Columbus Blue Jackets are a relatively new franchise. However, Columbus Blue Jackets ticket holders will tell you that this baby has already managed to make a name for itself in the standings and in the minds of hockey fans. Led by coach Dave King, the team first took the ice in Nationwide Arena back in 2000. In their short time with the league, the team has had an eventful, though somewhat tragic run. However, the Blue Jackets have come back resiliently, earning a top spot in the NHL.
