Hey there, time traveller!

OTTAWA – A league source has confirmed to the Free Press the Winnipeg Jets have expressed interest in hosting the next Heritage Classic expected to be played in 2014.
The NHL is expected to study and consider the viability of hosting an outdoor game in Winnipeg.
“Winnipeg will have the benefit of having a suitable outdoor facility,” said an NHL source, referring to the new football stadium being built on the University of Manitoba campus and expected to be ready for next summer’s CFL season.
The NHL has developed the Winter Classic into a yearly franchise in the U.S. in an attempt to sell the game but uses the Canadian version known as the Heritage Classic much more sparingly.
The Jets had no comment on the potential of hosting an outdoor game.
