Ed Olczyk, Daniel Berthiaume and Dan Maloney round out the Winnipeg Jets’ lineup for the Heritage Classic Alumni Game.

On Thursday the Jets and Edmonton Oilers alumni teams put the finishing touches on their 23-player and three-coach rosters for the Oct. 22 blast from the past at Investors Group Field.

Olczyk and Berthiaume join the likes of Teemu Selanne, Thomas Steen, Teppo Numminen and captain — and Hockey Hall-of-Famer — Dale Hawerchuk.

KEN GIGLIOTTI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES Ed Olczyk waves to the crowd of 15,000 at the end of the cerimony thought to be the final Good-Bye gathering at Winnipeg Arena by the Jets in 1995.

Maloney will be behind the bench along with Tom McVie and Serge Savard.

The Oilers filled the final spots on their roster with Curtis Joseph, Craig Muni, Steve Smith, Steve Staois and coach John Muckler, who joins Ron Low and Glen Sather behind the bench.

Wayne Gretzky will wear the C, leading a squad loaded with names that ruled the NHL during the ’80s, including Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Grant Fuhr and Jari Kurri.
