Winnipeg Jets Pride Night Returns November 19
The Winnipeg Jets announced the details in Winnipeg on October 28, 2026. The annual Pride Night game is set for Thursday, November 19, at 7 p.m., when the Jets host the New York Islanders at Canada Life Centre. The night celebrates inclusion, equality and self-expression, and it has become one of the most visible community nights on the Jets calendar.
It is also a night with a full concourse, not just a pre-game ceremony. Longstanding partners Rainbow Resource Centre and Pride Winnipeg will be on the concourse providing information and support, joined this year by a new name: the Prairie Pride Hockey League.
A New Pride Logo by Cato Cormier
The centrepiece of this year’s night is a new Winnipeg Jets Pride logo, designed in collaboration with local artist and illustrator Cato Cormier. The design draws on the diversity of the natural world and reflects identities within the 2SLGBTQ+ community, using historically associated imagery and a vibrant colour palette.
The logo shows up everywhere on the night. A hoodie featuring the new design will be available for purchase at Jets Gear, and fans who buy a Jets Specialty Ticket for Pride Night will receive a tote bag with the new Pride logo, available exclusively to specialty ticket holders. Limited specialty tickets are available at winnipegjets.com/specialtytickets.
Jerseys, Hoodies and Charity on the Night
The charity piece is the concourse auction. Six limited-edition autographed team-issued jerseys featuring the new Pride logo will be auctioned on the night, and every dollar raised goes to three organizations: Rainbow Resource Centre, Pride Winnipeg and the Prairie Pride Hockey League.
That split matters. It ties the night’s merchandise and memorabilia directly to the groups doing the work in Winnipeg, rather than treating Pride Night as a one-off theme with nothing behind it.
Prairie Pride Hockey League Joins the Concourse
The Prairie Pride Hockey League (PPHL) is the newest partner on the concourse, and its story is part of the night. The league launched this year to provide a positive space for 2SLGBTQ+ and allied adults to play ice hockey, and it will host its first event on Saturday, November 7 at Valour Community Centre, less than two weeks before Pride Night.
On the entertainment side, queer musician Mari Padeanu will sing the anthems before puck drop, and Mach 10 will perform on the Samsung Stage during the night.
Winnipeg Jets Pride Night works best when it is more than a logo on a warmup jersey, and this year’s edition at least tries to be that: a local artist’s design, a league built for queer players, and money going to Winnipeg organizations. The test, as always, is whether the welcome lasts past November 19.
