Bennie



Benny was the mascot of the original Winnipeg Jets from 1986 to 1996. He was named in honour of both Ben Hatskin, the first owner of the Jets, and Elton John's hit song "Bennie and the Jets." He wore a B on the front of his jersey, in the spot where a C for captain or A for alternate captain would otherwise go. He has since reemerged as a secondary mascot for the current Winnipeg Jets, beginning with the 2016 Heritage Classic.
