Jan 20 (The Sports Xchange) - The
Winnipeg Football Club and the NHL announced the sides were unable to
finalize a date to hold the Heritage Classic at Investor's Group Field
during the 2015-16 season, and will work to schedule the game for the
following season.

The NHL reportedly wanted to play the game in late December, but
the hockey club was pushing for a February date so as not to
conflict with the Grey Cup held earlier in the month. But the league
was opposed to February because of the All-Star Game and other
outdoor games yet to be announced.
