Markus Mattsson

    Markus Mattsson was  originally drafted in 1977 by the New York Islanders in the 5th round. In 43 games with the Jets, the Finnish netminder went 8-32-3. In 1979 Mattsson allowed Wayne Gretzky to score his first goal as an Edmonton Oiler.

Pierre Hamel

    Pierre Hamel was a diminutive French Canadian netminder. In 64 career games with the Jets, Hamel went 12-39-7 with a 4.34 g.a.a. His second season (80-81) was the worst, going 3-20-4 with a 4.73 g.a.a.

Mike O’Neill

   Mike O’Neill went win less during his 20 games with the Jets. He was one of the worst draft picks in Jets history, being drafted 15th overall in 1988.

Marc Behrend

   There is two reasons why Marc Behrend was one of the worst goalies ever in Jets history. It’s not his 12-19-3 record, instead it’s his 4.82 g.a.a and a .844%. His best season was 84-85 when he went 8-10 with a 4.29 g.a.a, his other two seasons, he had a 5.47 and a 5.83 g.a.a.

Ron Loustel

    If one were to ask a trivia question about the worst one game performance ever, not even just in Jets history but in the NHL, the answer would be Ron Loustel. It was so awful, that it was the sixth round pick only game in the NHL, allowing 10 goals.

Lindsey Middlebrooke

   Lindsay Middlebrooke’s first season with the Jets was average. What earns him the right to the worst ever was his second season (80-81), where he went 0-9-4 with a 5.97 g.a.a Anytime you play 24 games and have a goals against of over 5, you are a horrible goalie. The most shocking stat is this, the Jets eventually traded him to Minnesota for cash, that in itself is a miracle.
