Late last month, rumors began to surface the league was working on an outdoor game.
The NHL revealed Thursday that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres will square off outside at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario on March 13 next season.
“We are excited to announce that we will be presenting another Tim Hortons Heritage Classic this season,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
“When the Toronto Maple Leafs meet the Buffalo Sabres at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, we again will honor Canada’s preeminent role in the history of our game while renewing a great and longstanding NHL rivalry.
