Press to jump

2:04Montreal's coaches are introduced, with P.K. Subban opening his coat to show his Canadiens jersey.
2:59The Canadiens alumni receive their individual introductions.
8:24Winnipeg's former players are introduced to the arena crowd.
15:15An on-ice projection addresses Indigenous reconciliation and recalls the Winnipeg-Montreal Stanley Cup meeting in 1896.
17:12Descendants of the 1896 players join Mike Keane and Blake Wheeler for the ceremonial puck drop.
18:49Stacey Nattrass sings the Canadian national anthem before the game.

P.K. Subban opens his coat during the introductions to reveal a Canadiens jersey underneath. He is introduced among Montreal's coaches rather than its players, but the colors are still part of the occasion.

The Canadiens' "Canadiens-Jets Alumni Game | FULL GAME STREAM" brought former players from both clubs together at Winnipeg's Canada Life Centre during Heritage Classic weekend. It reached roughly 170,000 views around its first day, about seventeen times the channel's usual opening-day audience for longer videos.

The introductions alone offer plenty of familiar names: Andrei Markov, Paul Byron, Jaroslav Halak and Guillaume Latendresse for Montreal, with Dustin Byfuglien, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little among Winnipeg's returning players. Alexis Goulet supplies live French play-by-play for the broadcast.

Viewers are picking out more than the names on the jerseys. Several comments single out Byron's remaining touch, including a playful request to give him a contract. Others remark on the passing, while one asks why Subban wasn't playing.

Before the hockey, the ceremony reaches further back than anyone on either roster. A projection recalls the Winnipeg and Montreal Victorias' Stanley Cup meeting in 1896. Descendants of those players then join Mike Keane and Wheeler for the ceremonial puck drop, giving this reunion a connection to a much older one.
