'Once-in-a-lifetime environment': Fans celebrate the 2023 Heritage Classic

Shirtless overalls in frigid temperatures, the return of Connor McDavid and of course, Nickelback -- the 2023 Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames had a little bit of everything.

With both teams in desperate need of a win to kickstart a slow start to the season, the Oilers were indeed rockstars and pulled out a 5-2 win in a very special edition of the Battle of Alberta on Sunday in front of 55,411 fans at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Maybe now only the Flames will need to burn it to the ground.

It was big day nearly 20 years after the original Heritage Classic was also played in Edmonton, as fans spent their Sunday enjoying the good ol' hockey game played outdoors, the same way so many Canadians grew up playing.

Here are some of the best moments from throughout the event:
