Columbus Blue Jackets celebrate 25 years with exclusive TV specials this weekend
The Columbus Blue Jackets are marking their 25th season with two special TV programmes. Both will air in the coming days, offering fans a look back at the team's history. The celebrations begin this weekend with a match against the New York Islanders.
The first programme, '25 Years of Blue Jackets Hockey', will premiere on Saturday night. It follows the team's game against the Islanders, which kicks off at 6 p.m. ET. The one-hour special includes interviews and key moments from the franchise's past.
The second show, 'All-Time Jackets: The Quarter Century Team', airs on Monday, March 9. This 30-minute feature profiles the 12 players chosen for the Blue Jackets' Quarter-Century First and Second Teams. It will be broadcast after the team's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Both programmes form part of the club's 25th-anniversary celebrations. No other major sports or charitable projects by the franchise have been reported beyond these TV specials and regular games.
Fans can watch the anniversary shows immediately after the scheduled matches. The first airs on Saturday, with the second following on Monday. The programmes will highlight the team's history and standout players over the past 25 years.
