context_page_description: The Atlanta Thrashers were an ice hockey team based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. They were members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League. The Thrashers joined the NHL in 1999 as an expansion franchise, and over 200 players have worn a Thrashers uniform since that time. The Thrashers won the Southeast Division and reached the playoffs for the first time in team history in 2006–07.
  Ilya Kovalchuk is the franchise leader in goals scored, assists, points and games. Early in 2009, Kovalchuk was named the seventh captain in franchise history. Kari Lehtonen leads the franchise in most goaltending categories, including games played, wins and shutouts. At the end of the 2010–11 season the team was purchased by True North Sports & Entertainment and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for the start of the 2011–12 season and became the Winnipeg Jets.
