The NHL Heritage Classic took place on October 25, 2026, with the Winnipeg Jets hosting the Montreal Canadiens at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg. Nostalgia was a central theme, showcased through retro jerseys, an alumni game featuring past Jets players, and themed arrival outfits. The next outdoor game is scheduled for New Year's Eve at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, where the Utah Mammoth will host the Colorado Avalanche. Lessons from the Winnipeg event will inform the planning of Utah's game, which may adopt different thematic elements due to its less extensive history in hockey.
