Regina to host Heritage Classic between Flames, Jets next season

The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames will participate in the NHL Heritage Classic on Oct. 26 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan, commissioner Gary Bettman announced during the Winter Classic on Tuesday.

Mosaic Stadium is home to the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders and holds a crowd of 33,350. Next year's rendition of the Heritage Classic will serve as the fifth since 2003.

Both Winnipeg and Calgary have previously participated in the event. The Jets took on the Edmonton Oilers outdoors in 2016, while the Flames defeated the Montreal Canadiens at McMahon Stadium in 2011.
