NHL unveils rendering for Heritage Classic in Winnipeg

Translate

The NHL unveiled a rendering of Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg for Sunday's outdoor game between the Jets and the Montreal Canadiens (7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).

"The NHL will convert the stadium into a larger-than-life Canadian cabin retreat, with the rink serving as the centrepiece of an immersive NHL Heritage Classic experience," the NHL wrote in a statement. "At the heart of the stadium sits the outdoor rink, framed by oversized rustic timber logs that create the appearance of a massive cabin wall. Surrounding the ice are iconic hockey and cabin-themed elements that celebrate the rivalry between the Canadiens and Jets.

"Oversized team crests and pennants, vintage-style memorabilia displays, framed jerseys, crossed wooden hockey sticks adorned with antlers, and decorative plaques are embedded throughout the wooden landscape, giving the field the feel of a curated hockey lodge."

The stadium will also have a large fireplace stretching across the front of the field, and four stages around the ice for in-game musical performances.

Sunday marks the second time the Jets are hosting an outdoor game at Princess Auto Stadium.
