Heritage Classic:
TSN: Heritage Classic to bring rare spectacle to Winnipeg in October. Have to think spectacle is an appropriate choice of word. It should certainly be a weekend to remember.

Winnipeg Sun: No. 99 not the only reason the Heritage Classic alumni game will be a treat. When you see that no . 99 will be lacing them up you know it is going to be a special event.
Winnipeg Sun: Players give thumbs up to Heritage Classic. The idea of playing in late October certainly seemed to appeal to the players.
