One of the NHL's newest teams, the Blue Jackets took to the ice for the first time on October 7, 2000, with a 5-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Bruce Gardiner scored the first goal in franchise history.The team's nickname was selected from suggestions by fans. There are at least four possible factors that may have contributed to the selection of the name. At the time the name was first announced, some media reports speculated that because team owner John H. McConnell's favorite color is blue, he had directed that any name selected for the team must contain the word blue.

The initial logo for the team featured "an insect with an attitude," suggesting that the name is a play on the term yellowjacket. It may also be a reference to Ohio's hockey teams of the past, including the Toledo Hornets and the Cincinnati Stingers. The insect logo was reduced to secondary status before the team began play and was eliminated entirely during the 2003-04 season. The only remnant of the insect theme remains with the team mascot, a big green bug affectionately known as "Stinger."

The term "Blue Jacket" is a reference to the uniform of the Union army in the American Civil War, to which the state of Ohio provided a large number of soldiers.

The name may also have been intended to honor the Shawnee leader Blue Jacket, who lived in the region, but the team has not used any Native American references in its marketing.
Tragedy struck the Blue Jackets organization when, in March 2002, 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil was killed after an errant shot by Espen Knutsen struck her in the head while she was in the stands watching the Blue Jackets play the Calgary Flames in Nationwide Arena. As a result of this death, nylon mesh nets have now been installed in all NHL arenas above the area behind the goals to shield spectators from flying pucks.

The team struggled again in the first half of the 2005-06 season, in part because of injuries to key players including Nash, 2000 first round pick Rostislav Klesla, and 2005 first round pick Gilbert Brule, who have each had two stints on the injured reserve list. In all, 11 players had made a total of 15 trips to the IR through the NHL's Christmas break. The Blue Jackets improved in December and January, due in no small part to Rick Nash making a return off injured reserve on December 18. At the end of January they stood 14-12-0 at home, 8 wins in their last 11 games, and finishing 1st in the NHL for power play efficiency for that month.

Nationwide Arena is a sports and entertainment arena in Columbus, Ohio. It opened in 2000 and is the home of the Columbus Blue Jackets, a franchise in the National Hockey League, who were joined for the 2004 season by the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena Football League.
The venue is named for the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, whose home office is located nearby. Nationwide's real estate development affiliate, Nationwide Realty Investors, financed and developed the project—making it one of very few privately financed arenas in the nation.
The arena is of an attractive brick design and serves as the center of an entertainment district located about one half mile north of the Ohio State Capitol. Seating capacity is approximately 18,500 for hockey and arena football, 19,500 for basketball, and up to 20,000 for concerts. The death of a 13-year-old girl from injuries sustained from a puck flying into the stands at a Blue Jackets game in 2002 led to the installation of nylon netting to catch pucks that fly over the plexiglass at all professional ice hockey arenas in the NHL, AHL, and ECHL.

The area surrounding Nationwide Arena, appropriately called the Arena District, houses a variety of bars, clubs and a movie theater. Constructed as a seamless entity, Columbus uses the arena as a drawing point for the city with the various other establishments feeding off of the foot traffic. The Lifestyle Communities Pavilion concert venue, and Arena Grand Theatre adjacent to the Nationwide Arena property, completes the entertainment complex.
Nationwide Arena also houses a smaller ice rink called the Dispatch IceHaus (formally named the CoreComm IceHaus). This facility serves as the practice rink for the Blue Jackets and is also used for youth hockey games and open skating times for the public. This facility makes Nationwide Arena the only NHL arena with an on-site practice facility. It hosted the final WWE King of the Ring tournament in 2002 and the last WWE Bad Blood in 2004.
