Major professional sports landed in Columbus for the first time as the Blue Jackets of the NHL made their debut. In their very first game at Nationwide Arena on October 7, 2000, the Blue Jackets jumped out to a 3-0 lead against the Chicago Blackhawks, with Bruce Gardiner scoring the first goal in franchise history. However, the sold out crowd of 18,136 would go home disappointed after the Blackhawks scored 5 unanswered goals to win 5-3. The Jackets would get their first win 5 days later when they beat the Calgary Flames on the road 3-2. Paying homage to Ohio's contributions to American history and the great pride and patriotism exhibited by its citizens, especially during the Civil War as both the state of Ohio and the city of Columbus were significantly influential on the Union Army. Ohio contributed more of its population to the Union Army than any other state, while many of the Blue Jacket uniforms worn by the Union soldiers were manufactured in Columbus.
