Hawerchuk, who died in 2020 at 57, put up a franchise-leading 379 goals and 929 points in Winnipeg from 1981-1990. He had his No. 10 retired in 2007 in Coyotes’ colours despite playing for the franchise before the move.

Steen retakes the team lead in assists with 553.

Current Jets forward Mark Scheifele, whose career totals stand at 372 goals, 535 assists and 907 points, will have the opportunity to take the lead in all three categories in 2026-27.

In addition, the Jets also own the historical records of the Atlanta Thrashers (1999-2011).

The statistical history of the inactive Coyotes franchise will encompass only its years in Arizona from 1996 to 2024 and will not be counted as part of the Jets’ record book.

The Coyotes suspended operations in 2024 before the team’s assets were acquired by the expansion Utah Mammoth.

The original Jets retired four numbers: Bobby Hull (No. 9) and Steen (No. 25) before relocation, and Hawerchuk and Teppo Numminen (No. 27).

The current Jets have not retired any jersey numbers.
