A number of past Winnipeg Jets were in the River City from May 30 to June 1 to commemorate a special anniversary. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Jets' Avco Cup Championship in 1979 over Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers. That victory also marked the end of the World Hockey Association, as many of the league's teams subsequently joined the NHL for the 1979-1980 season.
