While the United States gets to have the Winter Classic, Canada’s NHL fans get to revel in the Heritage Classic for all the joy that outdoor hockey fans and players alike can handle.
Sunday’s matchup in Winnipeg between the Winnipeg Jets and Canadiens marks the eighth Heritage Classic in league history, and with it comes all of the classic Canadian joy and history we love to see from events like this, and that includes special throwback-style jerseys.
All seven Canadian teams, as well as the honorary eighth Canadian team, the Buffalo Sabres, have played in the event, and they’ve all brought their own kinds of style outdoors for the Heritage Classic. We’re going to rank them even though many of them have become current home or road jerseys now, and even though many of those are beautiful, we’re giving bonus points out for doing things a little differently, especially for more recent games.
Enough talk, let’s get to ranking!
