The 2016 Heritage Classic was last weekend as the Winnipeg Jets hosted the Edmonton Oilers in a weekend of fun and hockey. The two teams battled at Investors Group Field, home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as the Oilers took a 3-0 win in the actual game.
Much like the Winter Classic in the US, the Heritage Classic is much more than a simple hockey game, it is a celebration of the past, present, and future of hockey within the surrounding areas and in the entire country.
With the Jets and Oilers playing in the most recent game, the Flames have now gone the longest without playing in an outdoor game among Canadian teams.
