Scott Arniel's journey from a disappointing stint as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets to his current success as the Winnipeg Jets' head coach is a remarkable turnaround. After a bitter departure from Columbus, Arniel took over the Jets following Rick Bowness's retirement and has led the team to unprecedented heights, including securing the franchise's first Presidents' Trophy with a stellar record of 55-22-4.

Under Arniel, the Jets have not only maintained their defensive prowess, ranking first in fewest goals allowed but have also significantly improved their offensive output. With a power play that ranks first in the league, the Jets are now a formidable force as the playoffs approach. Key players like goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and captain Adam Lowry praise Arniel for his fair yet demanding coaching style, highlighting his ability to inspire and connect with the team.
