A spring blizzard will again blow into Winnipeg during the NHL playoffs, with 5,000 people watching home games at whiteout parties on Donald Street outside the Canada Life Centre.
"There is a whiteout coming," said Kevin Donnelly of True North Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Jets and the downtown arena.
Whiteout street party tickets will go on sale for $10 starting April 17, with $5 from each ticket going to United Way Winnipeg, Donnelly said at a news conference at Canada Life Centre.
Whenever the Jets play a home game in the playoffs, frenzied fans clad in white outfits - from T-shirts and jerseys to painter's coveralls and some outrageously creative outfits - pack the downtown arena and streets around it to cheer their team.
"Uniquely Manitoban, the Winnipeg whiteout street parties put our passionate fans, their creativity and their spirit on a national stage," Donnelly said. "It becomes the talk of the town, and very soon, the talk of the nation."
The licensed parties take place on Donald Street between Portage and Graham avenues during every home game, starting two hours before puck drop. The games will be broadcast live to the street on three large screens.
