The Winnipeg Jets create big bucks for businesses, and when the team falters so can the profits.

Some local businesses noticed a hit to their bottom line towards the end of this season.

“It’s had a big impact. Especially last year, since it was their first year in the playoffs in such a long time. Everyone wanted to get white stuff for the white out. But unfortunately this year they didn’t do it,” said manager of Royal Sports Eric Pelser.

The Jets made the NHL playoffs for the first time in 19 years during the 2014-2015 season.

Business boomed and products sold out across the country.

“Our white stuff, we couldn’t sell fast enough. Shipments were delayed just because, even throughout the country, everyone was getting white jerseys,” said Pelser.

This season was tougher for the Jets. They scored the least amount of points since their return in 2011, and missed the playoffs.

In fact, no Canadian teams made the playoffs this year.

Pelser said Royal Sports usually sells lots of Montreal Canadiens merchandise during the playoffs, but this year sales have waned.

The Shark Club is attached to the MTS Centre and draws big crowds on game days.

General Manager Rachel Sacco said that traffic has stayed steady despite the Jets' performance.

“The difference now is, you know, we are a little bit slower compared to last year, but there’s still loyalty with the Winnipeg fans regardless of if they made it or not,” said Sacco.

Sacco said she isn’t concerned that no Canadian teams are vying this year for the Stanley Cup.

“Canadians are so passionate about the sport in general, so I don’t think it’ll be a huge impact on businesses,” said Sacco.

The Jets play their final home game against the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night.
