Flames vs. Oilers in NHL Heritage Classic: Time, TV, weather for Commonwealth Stadium
View Date:2024-12-24 00:39:20
Twenty years ago next month in Edmonton, the NHL played its first regular-season outdoor game.
The temperature was zero degrees Fahrenheit at game time on Nov. 22, 2003, and the photo of Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jose Theodore wearing a toque atop his mask and condensation from his breath rising into the chilly air summed up a classic experience.
Less than five years after the Canadiens' win against the Oilers before 57,167 fans, the league built on that with the 2008 Winter Classic, and outdoor games are now a staple of the NHL season.
Sunday, the league is returning to Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium for the seventh Heritage Classic and the 38th outdoor game. The Oilers' opponent this time is the Alberta rival Calgary Flames, with both teams struggling and in need of a win.
