Dale Hawerchuk's Son Makes a Statement on Mark Scheifele Potentially Breaking His Father's Records

The Winnipeg Jets history in the NHL is quite complicated, as all-time leading Winnipeg scorer Dale Hawerchuk's records are now with the defunct Arizona Coyotes, given their acquisition of the franchise.

As a result, Mark Scheifele is now first in goals (343) and points (816) with the Jets franchise, surpassing former teammate Blake Wheeler in both categories, as he's also likely to pass him in games played and every other significant stat in the near future.

However, No. 55 has made it clear that although Hawerchuk's record is not with the Jets, that's who he is chasing, as his 379 goals and 950 points are both Winnipeg records, despite them officially belonging to Arizona.

In response to Scheifele's statement, Hawerchuk's son Eric has spoken about his father's records.

For the most part, many just accept that Hawerchuk leads the Jets in all of these categories despite it not being official, and now his son has made that exact same statement.

There's plenty of connection there too, as Hawerchuk coached Scheifele in juniors with the Barrie Colts, and now, the Jets superstar has his eyes set on these Winnipeg records, with several years left on his deal as he is likely to become the Jets all-time greatest player.

Ultimately, this is a very complicated history that involves many other franchises, and while officially Scheifele has those records, expect a big deal to be made of the situation when he officially passes Hawerchuk in the coming months and years.
