WINNIPEG-- For Aaron Bird, the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic was the ultimate 2-for-1 deal.
Bird, 24, not only got to see his Winnipeg Jets play the Edmonton Oilers in the outdoor game Sunday, he also got to see his favorite band, Sum 41, play a pregame set at the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic Spectator Plaza.
The hockey-themed, family-friendly plaza served as the official pregame fan festival and was packed with ticket holders awaiting the Heritage Classic.
