Logo of a National Hockey League team that, as of the start of the 2011/12 season will cease to exist – the Atlanta Thrashers. The Thrashers entered the NHL as an expansion team in 1999 as the city’s second attempt to sell the sport in the Georgia city. Atlanta had previously lost the Flames to Calgary, Alberta, and the Thrashers will now be relocated to Winnipeg and become the second incarnation of the Jets. Some notable players in the franchise history include Kelly Buchberger, Ilya Kovalchuk, Dany Heatley, Marian Hossa, Marc Savard and Kari Lehtonen.
