CBJ

CBJ is an acronym that can refer to several different organizations, terms, and entities. In popular use, especially in North American sports media, CBJ most commonly denotes the Columbus Blue Jackets, a professional ice hockey team in the National Hockey League based in Columbus, Ohio. The franchise began play in 2000 as an expansion team and competes in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Nationwide Arena, and its abbreviation CBJ is widely used by fans and broadcasters.

Beyond sports, CBJ serves as an acronym for various organizations and concepts whose names begin with the letters C, B, and J. These uses are highly context-dependent and can include corporate, governmental, or academic institutions, as well as journal titles, committees, or programs. Because CBJ has no single universally accepted meaning, determining its precise reference requires looking at the surrounding context, such as geography, sector, and affiliated groups.

In addition to Columbus Blue Jackets, other less common uses of CBJ appear in local or organizational identifiers, event codes, or document abbreviations. As with many acronyms, the intended meaning is usually clear from how CBJ is introduced or described within a given article, report, or conversation.
