6 Game On! It was no surprise the sun was shining a little too brightly during The Heritage Classic, an outdoor NHL hockey game held at Winnipeg's IG Field between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers in October 2016, as Winnipeg is one of the sunniest cities in Canada. Sun glare off the ice created less than ideal conditions for players, causing the game to be delayed for over two hours.

It made the Guinness Book of World Records in 2008 when it was 8.54 kilometres long. In 2017, the river trail was expanded even further to over 10 km. Courtesy Mike Peters
