Winnipeg Jets Make Top Gun-Inspired Entrance at Heritage Classic

The Winnipeg Jets made their entrance at the 2026 Tim Hortons Heritage Classic with a Top Gun-inspired look, arriving at Princess Auto Stadium in bomber jackets, aviator sunglasses, white T-shirts and blue jeans.

  • Jets players wore pilot-style bomber jackets for Sunday’s outdoor game in Winnipeg.
  • The jackets featured patches on the sleeves and chest, including pilot wings, player nameplates, a Jets crest and the Heritage Classic logo.
  • Themed arrivals remain a familiar part of NHL outdoor-game day, and Winnipeg leaned fully into the aviation theme.
  • No lineup changes, scratches or injury updates were included.

What it means for the next game

The Heritage Classic is scheduled for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop Sunday at Princess Auto Stadium. The game will air on TVAS, Sportsnet, TNT, truTV and HBO Max.
