Heritage Classic In Calgary
Calgary will host the 2011 Heritage Classic, which will pit the Calgary Flames against the Montreal Canadiens.
Gary Bettman poses with Josh Gorges of the Montreal Canadiens and Steve Staios of the Calgary Flames, who kind of looks a little like Ronald McDonald in that new Flames Heritage Classic jersey.
The Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames will take part in the 2011 Heritage Classic on Feb. 20 at McMahon Stadium, home to the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders. The League made it official during a warm Wednesday afternoon news conference, which took place on the field that will play host to the NHL’s sixth-ever outdoor game.
“Our first regular-season outdoor game was played in Canada, and it’s great to be coming back,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “As everyone knows, the roots of our game are in Canada. And the roots of our game emanate from frozen ponds and backyard rinks in Canada. When you have a heritage as proud and as strong as we do, you want to celebrate it.”
