For Lowe, returning to Winnipeg brings back some old memories of a rivalry that was dates back to the World Hockey Association. (CBC)But Lowe won't be policing the blue-line on Saturday like he did back in 2003 for the inaugural Heritage Classic game played at Commonwealth Stadium. More than 56,000 fans braved the -20 C temperatures to watch the NHL's first outdoor game and the first to be televised in high definition. The Oilers went on to win the game 2-0, the regular season game played afterwards was won by the Habs 4-3. Semenko remembers playing in the bone chilling cold during the first outdoor game as well.
