The Blue Jackets have played their home games at the Nationwide Arena since their inaugural season.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are an American professional ice hockey team based in Columbus, Ohio. They play in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] The team joined the NHL in 2000 as an expansion team. The Blue Jackets have played their home games at the Nationwide Arena since their inaugural season.[2] The franchise is owned by John P. McConnell and Don Waddell is their general manager.[3][4]

There have been 10 full-time head coaches for the Blue Jackets franchise. The team's first head coach was Dave King, who coached for three seasons. Ken Hitchcock coached the team to its first playoff appearance. Scott Arniel was the head coach of the Blue Jackets from 2010 through 2012.[5] Todd Richards was named interim head coach on January 9, 2012, and would remain with the team for more than 3½ seasons.[6] John Tortorella became the head coach on October 21, 2015, and left the team following the 2020–21 season with the Blue Jackets' highest winning percentage (.568).[7] Tortorella was replaced by Brad Larsen,[8] who served as head coach for two years before being fired at the conclusion of the Template:Nhly season.[9] Mike Babcock was subsequently hired to replace Larsen;[10] however, Babcock resigned before coaching a game for Columbus, after allegations of improper behavior via the Spittin' Chiclets podcast led to an NHLPA investigation.[11] After Babcock's resignation, Pascal Vincent was subsequently named head coach.[11] Vincent was subsequently fired after just one season as head coach, later being replaced by Dean Evason.[12]
