Jets Minor League Affiliates

Here is a list of the minor-league affiliates of the Jets during their tenure in the NHL. These teams played host to the so-called "Jets of the Future". Excluding the three seasons where their primary affiliate was mostly stocked with Montreal players, the Jets affiliates, out of 14 season, had five winning seasons, no league championships, one trip to the Calder Cup Finals, and many seasons where they missed the playoffs. In many respects, they really were the "Jets of the Future."
