The NHL will be hosting an outdoor game at Mosaic Stadium, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, next October.
The “2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic™” will feature the Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames and be played on Oct. 26.
The Riders are on the road for three straight weeks after an Oct. 5 contest against the Bombers, likely to give the NHL ample time to set up shop.
Those three road games won’t be easy as they are all against West Division clubs: Calgary on Oct. 11, Edmonton on Oct. 18 and B.C. on Oct. 26.
The team returns home Nov. 2 against the Eskimos.
Jets fans with Bombers tickets might have a decision to make, however. The CFL team hosts the Stampeders on Oct. 25 – the night before the Jets are scheduled to play in Regina.
Could make for an epic double though…
