I'm sure the crowd will be cheering for Winnipeg.

Nothing like playing a regular season game in Canada’s toilet bowl

 

[BigZ65]

Surprised they just don't have a Calgary-Edmonton game there. Almost everyone I know from Sask cheers for one of those two or an original six team. Not many Jets fans.

 

[Derfel]

Why the hell would they even agree to this? What a joke.

 

[tntkid]

100% Regina boos the Jets.

Why even go there.

that and it's overpriced and will be cold out and you can't see anything happening on ice.
i hope calgary's forced to wear a hometown watermelon green jersey

Pretty sure SASK is in our broadcast area.

Hope the jets wear bomber colours

This isn't football. There's support for the Jets in Saskatchewan. Not a good idea to insult their hockey fans. Having a game in Regina is a great way to build on that support from our western neighbors.

And I'll be listening for @Daximus and his True North shout out.

This is a good point. A guy I used to work with was from Saskatchewan, and he's a big Jets fan.

He is also a Riders fan too, but just goes to show no one is perfect.

I found this part interesting.

According to a team source, the Pats are interested in playing host to a WHL game as part of the event.

It would be similar to the 2011 Heritage Classic in Calgary when the Flames faced the Montreal Canadiens, followed the next day by a WHL game featuring the Pats and Calgary Hitmen.

Regina Pats vs. Winnipeg Ice?

100% Regina boos the Jets.

Not if we wear these alternates...

 

[Yukon Joe]

I’m surprised no one mentioned that Jets in another heritage classic means a new HC jersey...

 

[Board Bard]

Are the Jets the NHL's gimmick team?

Saturday, October 26th - Winnipeg and Calgary

NHL to announce Heritage Classic coming to Regina in October during January 1 Outdoor Classic

Here we go again.

Hopefully this rings in the 90's Jets jersey

Jets are a good, young, fast and marketable team.

If that's what gimmicky is, I'll take it.

 

[Repoman]

I just hope this isn't going to count as a home game. We already lost one this year.

That's not what gimmicky is.

You would be incorrect. There are tons of people from Saskatchewan, who have move to Alberta, and cheer for the Jets.

I'm hoping it will be the dark (blue) version of the Heritage Classic jerseys. The whites were a hit and I'm sure the dark would be too.
