Winnipeg Jets and Montréal Canadiens Debut Special Edition Uniforms Ahead of Outdoor Matchup at Princess Auto Stadium
The National Hockey League (NHL) and Fanatics, the League’s authentic on-ice outfitter, unveiled the uniforms to be worn in the 2026 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Montréal Canadiens at Winnipeg’s Princess Auto Stadium on Sunday, October 25 (7 p.m. ET, SN, TVAS, TNT, truTV, HBO MAX). After three-seasons away, this marquee event makes its highly anticipated return, carrying on its tradition of honoring Canada’s deep-rooted connection to outdoor hockey.
The uniforms were designed by Fanatics with collaboration from both teams and the NHL. The Jets’ NHL Heritage Classic uniform pays homage to the franchise’s classic look of the 1980s and 1990s presented in white to complement the team’s current navy alternate jersey. The crest is rendered in felt with chain-stitched detailing, and the back numbers carry the same two-layer felt treatment. An all-new streaking jet graphic frames the event name on the hem while the loop label replicates the jet-in-a-circle design from the team’s pants.
The Canadiens’ NHL Heritage Classic uniform draws on multiple design details from throughout the team’s storied jersey history, with the classic red and blue team colors alongside a vintage off-white. For the first time ever, “Les Habitants” appears in the back collar, a nod to the franchise’s iconic nickname, while the loop label features a fleur-de-lis for the province of Québec. The classic CH crest has been redrawn to echo styles of the past and rendered in felt with running-stitch detailing.
The jerseys and additional NHL Heritage Classic merchandise including team apparel, headwear and hardgoods are available beginning today at Fanatics.com, NHLShop.com, NHLShop.ca, the online and physical stores for both teams and the NHL Shop NYC flagship store, with broader retail launch set for October 8.
A limited number of tickets to the 2026 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic are available here via Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner of the NHL, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Ticketmaster is the official marketplace of the NHL, providing fans with peace of mind in knowing the seats they buy on Ticketmaster.com and the Ticketmaster app are the seats they’ll get.
The Oct. 25 game marks the Jets’ third outdoor contest, having previously faced the Calgary Flames in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Mosaic Stadium in Regina and the Edmonton Oilers in the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Princess Auto Stadium. The Canadiens are set to skate in their fifth outdoor game, and their first since 2017, with a record of 2-2-0 in outdoor regular season contests. A complete history of NHL regular-season outdoor games can be found here.

La LNH Et Fanatics Dévoilent Les Chandails Pour La Classique Héritage De La LNH Tim Hortons 2026
Les Jets de Winnipeg et les Canadiens de Montréal dévoilent une édition spéciale de leur chandail en prévision de leur match en plein air au Princess Auto Stadium
NEW YORK (7 octobre 2026) – La Ligue nationale de hockey (LNH) et Fanatics, le fournisseur officiel des chandails de la Ligue, ont dévoilé aujourd’hui les chandails qui seront portés lors de la Classique Héritage de la LNH Tim Hortons 2026, qui opposera les Jets de Winnipeg et les Canadiens de Montréal, le dimanche 25 octobre (19 h HE ; SN, TVAS, TNT, truTV, HBO Max). Après une absence de trois saisons, cet événement très populaire effectue un retour fort attendu, perpétuant ainsi la tradition qui célèbre le lien unique unissant le Canada au hockey en plein air.
Les chandails ont été conçus par Fanatics, en collaboration avec les deux équipes de la LNH. L’uniforme des Jets pour la Classique Héritage de la LNH rend hommage au style classique de l’équipe qu’elle arborait dans les années 1980 et 1990 ; Il est dévoilé en blanc afin de complémenter le chandail alternatif actuel de l’équipe, qui est bleu marine. L’écusson a été réalisé au feutre où des détails cousus en points de chaînette ont été ajoutés, et les numéros au dos du chandail sont composés des mêmes deux couches de feutre. Un tout nouveau motif d’avion à réaction en plein vol encadre le nom de l’événement sur l’ourlet, tandis que l’étiquette cousue reproduit le logo de l’avion dans un cercle figurant sur les pantalons de l’équipe.
L’uniforme des Canadiens pour la Classique Héritage de la LNH s’inspire de divers éléments provenant de la riche histoire des chandails de l’équipe, alliant les couleurs classiques rouge et bleu à un blanc cassé d’allure rétro. Pour la toute première fois, l’inscription « Les Habitants » figure à l’intérieur du col arrière – un clin d’œil au surnom emblématique de la franchise – tandis que l’étiquette cousue à l’ourlet présente une fleur de lys en hommage au Québec. Le logo classique « CH » a été redessiné pour évoquer les styles d’autrefois et réalisé au feutre avec des détails en point. Un dossier de presse incluant des visuels est disponible ici.
Les chandails ainsi que les autres articles dérivés de la Classique Héritage de la LNH – incluant les vêtements d'équipe, les couvre-chefs et les divers produits dérivés – sont disponibles dès aujourd'hui sur Fanatics.com, NHLShop.com et NHLShop.ca, dans les boutiques en ligne et physiques des deux équipes et au magasin NHL Shop NYC, alors que le lancement commercial à plus grande échelle est prévu pour le 8 octobre.
Un nombre limité de billets pour la Classique Héritage de la LNH Tim Hortons 2026 sont disponibles ici via Ticketmaster, le partenaire de billetterie officiel de la LNH ; les billets sont vendus selon le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi, jusqu'à épuisement des stocks.

#InauguralReview #TravelersPoetsandFriends @travelerspoetsandfriends by #EmanueleNigro #OneMoreHospitality #457SixthAvenue #Manhattan
Peachy Deegan's favorite: The Cannelloni!
"Money should not be the reason why you open a business. It should be the result."
-Founder and Owner of Osteria 57 and One Hospitality Group, Emanuele Nigro
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Emanuele Nigro Founder and Majority Owner of One More Hospitality Group and native of Milan, Italy (and click here for his hat trick, one off the ice...) ! Previously in early 2025, he earned accolades for Osteria 57, Alice, and Pamina.Today, we have found even more reasons why your stomach is glad he came to the USA in 2006! It is more difficult today to be featured as an Italian restaurant for the first time than it ever was because chances are, over the last seventeen years we have visited what we believe are the most compelling among the Italian from Italy and Italian American venues in Manhattan, and beyond Manhattan.
There are amazing salads all over Manhattan, and the best Peachy's Picks are in Sensational Salad. The Market Salad of Travelers Poets and Friends is commendable, with upscale greenmarket vegetables of artisan quality: fennel, carrots, radish, halved cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and they listened and put the dressing on the side for Ms. Pretty Picky as she requested it. The vegetable talents do not end there: most incredible were the Smoked Beets! We do not remember ever having them anywhere before and they're house-smoked in this palate-enhancing nutritious temptation, which although we make no medical claims, surmise is quite good for you. The beets are joined by a garlic puree and toasted pistachio, which really ups the wow factor.
The brushed beet accent was also pretty!
From every angle, the Bietole All'Arrabbiata of sauteed swiss chard and spicy tomato sauce was gorgeous, and the uplifting flavor combination we believe has wide appeal. It's a selection from the Italo Garden section of the menu, and under Piccolo, meet Polpette of perfection. The meatballs of beef and pork boast fabulous consistency and luxuriate in house-made tomato sauce and grilled bread.
This inaugural visit, we were delighted to meet and work with Executive Chef Simone Venturini, of Liguria, Italy. Everyday pasta is made in house here, and from the Lasagna Bolognese of an ideal beef and pork composition paired with triumphant spinach dough in a favorite hue of Peachy's, they showed us they are in it to win it. It ravishes your palate with bechamel and Parmigiano Reggiano and proves that style and talent yields quality and this is no boring run-of-the-mill lasagna. It is much better! Peachy's favorite however was the Cannelloni: tube-shaped pasta winning you over filled with ricotta and spinach bechamel and tomato sauce. The flavor and quality was utterly superior and we love it.
The menu also has style and it does not say entree: it says Grande.
We love shrimp and not only because Peachy is as tall as one!
It's also because of the flavor of course, and to that end we are thrilled to introduce you to what we believe is the first shrimpburger of our life: meet the shrimp patty on a homemade black squid ink bun, charred tomatoes, frisee, and sumptuous scallion mayo. They really hit it out of the park with delicious creativity here. Some places that are trendy overdo their ideas and come up with items that turn our stomach that we would never tell you about and waste your time with. This Shrimpburger deserves your time, especially if it is a Friday in Lent.
We also appreciate the nod to America with the cheeseburger on the menu. Some Europeans forget that they are in America and do not indulge American tastes. The Travelers signature patty luxuriates on a homemade bun with provolone, caramelized onions, inventive, tasty smoked mayo and fries and was perfection.
Perfectly medium rare, cut by Peachy (who is not a chef!)
The final firework was Branzino, and if you have not read our 31,000 other posts, be aware that we do not edit pictures. You win like Emanuele and Simone or we do not publish: that's it! Joined by superbly sliced summer squash and a smashing salmorglio (sauce from Sicily with parsley, lemon, garlic garnish), the Branzino says don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Eat me.
Travelers, Poets and Friends impressed us immensely on our first visit and we can't wait to see what they do next.
#NewYorkNotes #UpcomingNightlight Terry Gross & Paul McCartney to Share the Stage for “A Conversation for the Ages” November 23 event at New York’s The Town Hall caps the celebration of Gross’s 50 years with Fresh Air and benefits the enduring impact of public media
Note from the Publisher: Paul McCartney has been featured editorially many times over the years for his work as a solo artist, with Wings and of course with the Beatles and always earns our Highest Recommendation.
WHYY will present an extraordinary evening with one of the most beloved and revered musicians in the world and an interviewer who has inspired generations not only of listeners but other interviewers as well: Terry Gross in conversation with Paul McCartney, on Monday, November 23, 2026, at The Town Hall in New York City.
The event offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience an intimate, live conversation between one of the world’s most influential musicians and one of America’s most accomplished interviewers. It’s the culminating celebration of Gross’s 50 years with Fresh Air, honoring five decades of curiosity, thoughtful listening, music and revealing conversations.
All proceeds will directly benefit public media. McCartney’s participation further supports the broader public media mission: ensuring trusted journalism, thoughtful conversation and exceptional cultural programming remain accessible to millions of Americans. As public media increasingly relies on the generosity of its community, this evening offers a meaningful way to help sustain that work for the long term.
“Terry has spent five decades showing us what can happen when a great question meets a thoughtful listener: people open up, stories take unexpected turns, and audiences discover something new,” said Bill Marrazzo, WHYY President & CEO. “To celebrate that legacy with Paul McCartney, whose music has meant so much to so many, is extraordinary. We’re deeply grateful for his generosity and for everyone joining us to help sustain public media and Fresh Air’s work for generations to come.”
“I was 13, screaming in the movie theater, when A Hard Day’s Night came out,” said Terry Gross. “It is an honor to now have the opportunity to talk with Sir Paul, on stage, about different chapters of his life and music. Is there a better way to celebrate my 50th anniversary hosting Fresh Air? Absolutely not! Thank you, Sir Paul,” she said.
Throughout her career, Gross has brought an unmistakable blend of preparation, empathy, and candor to interviews with artists, authors, journalists, and others shaping our world. Her conversations move beyond familiar stories to explore the experiences, choices and ideas behind a guest’s work. The result makes even the most celebrated figures feel accessible and relatable.
McCartney’s career offers an exceptional counterpart to that curiosity. From his groundbreaking work with The Beatles to Wings and his extensive solo career, his songs have become part of the soundtrack of generations. His influence spans genres and reaches audiences around the world, while his creative output continues to reflect an enduring willingness to experiment and explore.
Earlier this year, McCartney released The Boys of Dungeon Lane, his first new solo album in more than five years, to critical acclaim. The album topped the global charts, with Top 5 debuts in more than a dozen countries – including his 24th UK #1 album across his extraordinary career as a solo artist, with Wings and as a member of The Beatles.
Together, Gross and McCartney will bring the evening’s theme to life: the enduring power of great questions, great storytelling, and meaningful conversation.
The event will take place at The Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, between Sixth Avenue and Broadway, New York, NY 10036 and will directly benefit public media. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

About Paul McCartney:
Born in Liverpool in 1942, Paul McCartney was raised in the city and educated at the Liverpool Institute. Since writing his first song at 14, McCartney has dreamed and dared to be different. He now lives in England.
Paul’s output has been impossibly prolific and singularly influential crossing many different genres. Paul changed the world forever with The Beatles before going on to continue to push boundaries and make music history with his group Wings and as a solo artist. His most recent solo (and 18th) studio album McCartney III secured the UK Album Chart’s festive Number 1 spot in 2020, furthering his lead as the UK’s most successful album act of all time.
In November 2021 Paul released his book, THE LYRICS: 1956 to the Present, recounting his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career – from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. The LYRICS hit Number One on the New York Times Best Seller list and was named the 2021 Book of the Year by Barnes & Noble.
An 18-time Grammy winner and recipient of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards, McCartney’s list of international accolades reads like no other as well as being recognized for decades of philanthropic activities.
Equally renowned for his live performances as he is for his song-writing Paul set the world record for largest paying concert attendance – 184,000 people – in Rio De Janerio in 1990. A freeman of The City Of Liverpool and Lead Patron of The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Paul McCartney was appointed Fellow of The Royal College of Music in 1995 by The Prince of Wales. In 1996 Paul McCartney was knighted by H.M. The Queen for his services to music, and in 2017 he was made a Companion of Honour in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Elite golfer and Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick achieved victory by three strokes at the FedEx Open de France Sunday, September 27 at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

He also played a key role in the 2025 Ryder Cup, contributing to Team Europe's success. With four worldwide wins already secured this season, Fitzpatrick continues to be one of the most dominant forces in professional golf.

#TexasPeachy Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country Advances Development Plans with City of Fredericksburg
City Council Resolution Advances the Project and Establishes a Long-Term Commitment to the Texas Hill Country
Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country, one of Texas' most anticipated luxury resort and residential developments, announced a major milestone following action by the Fredericksburg City Council approving a resolution that provides a clear path forward for the project's development and long-term relationship with the City.
A key component of the resolution is the approval of a revised conceptual alignment for the future roadway contemplated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The revised conceptual alignment integrates with the Waldorf Astoria resort and residences master plan, while preserving the City's long-term transportation objectives.
"This is an incredibly positive milestone for Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country and for our relationship with the City of Fredericksburg," said Mark Harmon, developer of Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country. "From the beginning, our vision has been to create a world-class destination that is authentically rooted in Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country. We appreciate the City's foresight and willingness to work collaboratively with our team on a practical path forward that supports both the future of this project and the community we are proud to be part of."
Site work on Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country is already underway, and the development team continues to advance infrastructure, design, and construction planning for the project. Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will mark the debut of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in Texas, bringing the brand's legendary hospitality to the heart of Texas Wine Country, less than one mile from downtown Fredericksburg and surrounded by the region's celebrated wineries, landscape and cultural attractions.
Set amid the natural landscape, Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country is designed to celebrate the region through architecture and interiors influenced by the land, local heritage and seamless indoor-outdoor living, imagined by Texas' Paul Duesing Partners. Plans include a clustered, ranch-style Waldorf Astoria resort and residences woven through large, open green spaces and oak woodlands, an expansive spa facility and wellness offerings, resort pools, distinctive culinary experiences led by a Michelin-starred chef, spacious event venues and the signature anticipatory services for which Waldorf Astoria is known. The project will also create a new gateway for travelers and homeowners to experience Fredericksburg as part of the broader Hill Country destination.
"Fredericksburg is not simply the location of this project, it is fundamental to its identity," said Robert Radovan, developer of Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country. "The architecture, landscape, hospitality and overall guest and residential experiences have been conceived around the character of the Hill Country. Our goal is to introduce a new level of luxury hospitality while creating an economic engine that supports the broader Fredericksburg community and introduces even more visitors to the businesses and people that have made this destination so special."
With the conceptual future roadway framework now defined, the development team and the City can continue working toward a voluntary annexation and development agreement for the property. That process will establish the project's long term relationship with Fredericksburg, while creating meaningful economic benefits for the community and complementing the city's established tourism economy through new tax revenues, quality jobs, increased visitor spending and additional patronage for local restaurants, wineries, galleries, shops and other businesses throughout the year.
"We are building for the long term, and we are excited to move into this next chapter alongside the City," Harmon added. "We have a tremendous team, an extraordinary piece of land and one of the world's most respected luxury hospitality brands. This action represents a significant step forward in our work with the City and provides additional momentum as Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country advances toward its launch."
Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country is planning for a debut in 2029. For more information about Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country and Waldorf Astoria Residences Texas Hill Country, please visit waldorfastoriaresidencestexashillcountry.com.

#NHLPeachy @NHL Morning Skate – Oct. 16, 2026
* Brady Tkachuk followed up his must-see NHL Frozen Frenzy performance with another natural hat trick as he helped the Panthers rally late and became the third player in League history with consecutive natural hat tricks.
* Matt Boldy, Kirill Marchenko and Mark Stone also scored hat tricks, while Patrick Kane had two assists and passed Phil Housley for the most by a U.S.-born player in NHL history.
* Nova Scotians and longtime friends Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon go head-to-head for the 21st time when the Penguins visit the Avalanche on Sportsnet+ tonight.
BRADY JOINS RARE NHL HISTORY WITH ANOTHER BUNCH OF GOALS
The Panthers were trailing 2-0 in the latter half of the third period before Brady Tkachuk (3-0—3) scored twice in the final frame – including a tying tally with 13 seconds remaining in regulation – and again in overtime to complete his second straight natural hat trick. Fresh off stealing the NHL Frozen Frenzy spotlight Tuesday, Tkachuk joined Petri Skriko (Nov. 18-21, 1986 w/ VAN) and Cy Denneny (Feb. 21-24, 1923 w/ SEN) as the third player in League history with consecutive natural hat tricks.
* Tkachuk, the third player in franchise history and the NHL’s first with consecutive hat tricks since Auston Matthews (2 GP from Feb. 15-17, 2024), became the second Panthers player to complete a hat trick with an overtime winner (also Aleksander Barkov: April 19, 2022 & Dec. 15, 2018).
* Matthew Tkachuk (0-1—1), who combined for nine points with Brady on Frozen Frenzy after assisting on each of his three goals in that contest, collected a secondary assist on his brother’s first goal Thursday night. The last time a player factored on four consecutive goals by his brother was Luke and Jack Hughes from March 1-21, 2024 (4); Daniel and Henrik Sedin hold the longest streak in NHL history (18 from March 3, 2015 – Oct. 22, 2016).
BOLDY BOLSTERS MINNESOTA WITH FIFTH CAREER HAT TRICK
Matt Boldy (3-1—4), Kirill Kaprizov (1-2—3) and Quinn Hughes (0-2—2) each posted multiple points and achieved notable feats in a Wild win. Boldy, who recorded his fifth career three-goal game, joined Kaprizov (Oct. 10) as the second Minnesota player with a hat trick this season – the only team with multiple players in 2026-27.
* Boldy’s hat trick goal was his fourth point of the night. He passed Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello (both w/ 5 GP) for the second-most four-point outings in Wild history, behind only Marian Gaborik (7 GP).
* Kaprizov became the first player in franchise history to record 50 career three-point games. He reached the mark in his 405th career contest; only three active players did so faster: Connor McDavid (332 GP), Sidney Crosby (340 GP) and Alex Ovechkin (366 GP).
* Hughes became the first defenseman with 10 assists this season and tied Kaprizov (8 GP in 2024-25) for the second-fewest games to the mark in franchise history, behind only Mikko Koivu (7 GP in 2008-09). He also extended his season-opening point streak to eight games and passed Andrew Brunette (7 GP in 2009-10) for the longest in Wild history.
KANE SETS U.S.-BORN ASSISTS RECORD; HUGHES HAs two goals IN HIGH-SCORING WIN
Patrick Kane and Luke Hughes were two other American players who left their mark on games Thursday:
* Kane assisted on Connor Bedard’s first goal since being named Blackhawks captain on Sept. 15 to reach 895 helpers in his career and pass Phil Housley (894) for the most by a U.S.-born player in NHL history. Kane and Bedard, who also assisted on the overtime winner by Artyom Levshunov, became the NHL’s second pair of No. 1 picks selected 15-plus years apart by the same franchise to factor on at least one goal together after Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby did so eight times with the Penguins during the 2005-06 season.
* Hughes (2-0—2) was the only player to score multiple goals in the Devils’ 7-1 win over the Rangers. New Jersey scored six unanswered goals in the “Hudson River Rivalry” for the first time since Nov. 18, 1984 (also 6). Four of New Jersey’s six straight goals last night came in a span of 5:09, the fastest by any team this season.
LIVE UPDATES HAS MATTHEWS, MARCHENKO GOING AIRBORNE, BETWEEN-THE-Legs
Thursday’s edition of #NHLStats: Live Updates featured more notes from the 11-game slate including several involving other No. 1 picks and hat tricks. Some highlights include:
* Mark Stone (3-0—3) matched the franchise record for goals in a period and became the fourth active player to score three goals in a frame at age 34 or older, joining Brad Marchand (Dec. 3, 2023), David Perron (March 28, 2023) and Alex Ovechkin (Feb. 4, 2020). Stone and Brady Tkachuk helped mark the fourth day in the past decade to feature multiple players score a natural hat trick, after Jan. 14, 2025 (Pavel Dorofeyev & Kyle Connor), Feb. 11, 2023 (Adrian Kempe & Artemi Panarin) and Nov. 4, 2021 (Jordan Eberle & Patrice Bergeron).
* Steven Stamkos pulled the Predators even in the final second of regulation, but Macklin Celebrini collected the shootout winner to quell Nashville’s comeback attempt. Stamkos became the first player in NHL history with multiple game-tying goals in the final second of regulation (also Nov. 4, 2025).
* Auston Matthews went airborne to catch the puck at the blueline and keep it in the Sabres’ zone before scoring his 67th career game-opening goal, which tied Mats Sundin for the most in franchise history. The puck was 8.76 feet off the ice when Matthews caught it according to NHL EDGE.
* Kirill Marchenko scored the NHL’s first between-the-legs goal this season and added two more tallies to record a hat trick in just his eighth career game with the Maple Leafs. Marchenko accounts for both of the League’s hat tricks on record that included a between-the-legs goal (since 2022-23 when the shot type was officially tracked), with his first also taking place against Buffalo (Dec. 19, 2023).
