The NHL is starting off the 2023 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic in Edmonton with activities Oct. 27-28 at ICE district Fan Park.
The event has many things planned, such as the United Hockey Mobile Museum, musical performances from local cover bands — the Barkells and the Troubadours — giveaways, food and “a special appearance by the oldest and most revered trophy in sports — the Stanley Cup.”
