There is no doubt this game has helped the NHL not just from a revenue standpoint but it has peaked some of the casual hockey fan's interest. Winter Classic brings in $500 mill of local revenue and Heritage Classic brings in around $800 mill of local revenue. This game was designed to get back to the roots for both players and fans who have played this game on some level. I do think this game should get expanded to two more outdoor games per season. HOF Game,Heritage Classic should be played on Hockey Day In Canada, and Winter Classic on Hockey Day In America.
HOF Game-US Team vs Canadian Team based off of the the previous season's best in points of each country's NHL Team
Heritage Classic-A Original Six Match-Up or at the very least a Canadian Home Team representative
Winter Classic-Keep the same concept as is
