Heritage Classic to feature fan festival, concerts and Jets alumni celebration
Sunday’s Winnipeg event includes a festival for game ticketholders and an on-ice celebration of the Jets’ past 15 years.
The NHL has outlined a full day of fan activities around Sunday’s Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens at Princess Auto Stadium. The Oct. 25 programme includes a festival outside the stadium, live music and an appearance by Jets alumni during the game.
The Scotiabank NHL PreGame festival runs from noon to 5:30 p.m. CT at the University of Manitoba’s U Lot, beside the stadium. It is open only to Heritage Classic ticketholders. The league says visitors can take photos with the Stanley Cup, try hockey activities and hear Winnipeg band Flatland Famous. Sportsnet also reported the festival’s noon opening and musical performance.
Inside the stadium, Remi Wolf, Wolf Parade, Feist and G-Flip are scheduled for the first intermission. Eighteen Jets alumni will take part in a second-intermission celebration marking the franchise’s past 15 years, according to the NHL’s event briefing published Saturday.
The Jets and Canadiens play at 6 p.m. CT on Sunday.
