The Columbus Blue Jackets play in the Central Division of the NHL's Western Conference. Coached by Ken Hitchcock, the team plays home games at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Through the 2007-08 season, the Blue Jackets have never appeared in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
On March 26, 2009, 52-year-old Peter Stenzel was arrested after allegedly threatening the Columbus Blue Jackets. Police claim Stenzel made several calls to the arena during a game against the Calgary Flames, threatening physical harm to the team. He was charged with inducing panic and held at the Franklin County Jail.ESPN.com: Fan Jailed for Threats Against Jackets
History
After failed attempts to bring hockey back to Columbus, the NHL awarded the city a franchise in 1997, after Nationwide announced plans to fund a new arena. The team played their first game in 2000. Although a variety of top players have donned the Blue Jackets jersey, including Rick Nash, Sergei Fedorov, Pascal Leclaire, R.J. Umberger, Adam Foote and Ray Whitney, the team has never qualified for the playoffs.-
