Jets announce return to full capacity, require proof of full vaccination

Fully vaccinated Winnipeg Jets fans will be able to pack the Canada Life Centre during the 2021-22 season, the club owners announced in a statement Wednesday.

True North Sports and Entertainment outlined that they will be selling to full capacity and that all venue employees, event staff, and guests will be required to provide proof of full vaccination.

"The majority of our season seat holders have shared with us that having a proof of COVID-19 vaccination policy ... is important to them," the company wrote.

Attendees will also be required to wear masks.

A limited number of Winnipeg healthcare workers were allowed to attend games during the 2020-21 playoffs. The Jets were unceremoniously swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round.

The ownership groups of the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks announced vaccinations will be mandatory for full-time employees.
