Columbus Blue Jackets Company Description
This hockey team puts a new spin on the term sport coat. The Columbus Blue Jackets sports franchise is one of the latest additions to the National Hockey League, having joined the NHL as an expansion team in 2000 along with the Minnesota Wild. Playing at Columbus' Nationwide Arena, the team has already attracted a strong following despite its limited success on the ice. The late John McConnell, founder of Worthington Industries, helped bring the franchise to Columbus and worked with local insurance giant Nationwide and newspaper publisher Dispatch Printing to get the team's arena built.
