Description
The greatest outdoor show on ice returns to Edmonton with the NHL’s Heritage Classic making a stop where it all started 20 years ago.

Postmedia national sports writer Dan Barnes joins the show to discuss where the idea for the Heritage Classic came from, challenges that the Oilers faced with in getting it off the ground, and the legacy of that game in the league now.
