It took place on March 2, 2014, in BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with the Ottawa Senators facing off against the home team Canucks.CBC, "NHL adds 5 outdoor games in 2014, including Vancouver: reports", April 16, 2013 It is the first "outdoor" game to be played in what technically is an indoor stadium, albeit one of a larger capacity than a typical NHL arena; BC Place is a retractable roof venue, and it is unknown if the stadium has the capabilities to keep its roof open during inclement weather (several stadiums of the type explicitly cannot be kept open in such an environment due to drainage concerns). The game was televised nationally in Canada on CBC and nationally in the United States on NBCSN. It was announced hours before the game that the roof of BC Place would be closed for the duration of the game due to weather concerns. The 2014 NHL Heritage Classic was also the last game to feature Roberto Luongo as a player for Vancouver, and is to date the only outdoor game the Canucks have played Game summary thumb|left|The rink inside BC Place before pregame warmups Ottawa Senators Vancouver Canucks BC Place March 2, 2014 4–2 1 http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2013020915 The Canucks built a 2–0 lead in the first period with goals by Jason Garrison and Zack Kassian. The Senators then scored four unanswered goals by Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson, Cody Ceci, and Colin Greening to win the game. The loss left Vancouver head coach John Tortorella answering questions during the post game press conference about why he started Eddie Lack in goal instead of regular starter Roberto Luongo.https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/senators-extra/senators-charge-back-to-beat-canucks-in-heritage-classic Senators charge back to beat Canucks in Heritage Classic March 2, 2014 James Gordon Tortorella's decision was also unpopular with the crowd during the game as they booed Lack, while Luongo was also unhappy as he had been looking forward to that game all season.https://nationalpost.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators-add-to-vancouver-canucks-woes-with-heritage-classic-win https://archive.today/20140305182902/http://sports.nationalpost.com/2014/03/02/ottawa-senators-add-to-vancouver-canucks-woes-with-heritage-classic-win/ live March 5, 2014 Vancouver Canucks coach's decision to bench Roberto Luongo for Heritage Classic illogical and unpopular National Post March 12, 2014 https://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/2014/03/04/canucks_trade_roberto_luongo_to_florida.html Canucks trade Roberto Luongo to Florida Toronto Star March 12, 2014 2014-03-04Cole https://vancouversun.com/sports/Canucks+coach+John+Tortorella+classic+misplay+unpopular+decision/9570156/story.html#ixzz2vlh2RveK Canucks coach John Tortorella's classic misplay an unpopular decision Vancouver Sun March 12, 2014 March 8, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140308062436/http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Canucks+coach+John+Tortorella+classic+misplay+unpopular+decision/9570156/story.html#ixzz2vlh2RveK dead Two days later on March 4, a day before the NHL trade deadline, Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers.Roberto Luongo trade: Florida Panthers acquire goaltender from Canucks https://www.sbnation.com/2014/3/4/5471102/roberto-luongo-trade-florida-panthers-vancouver-canucks 2014-03-04 SB Nation Brigardi, Matt Scoring summary Period Team Goal Assist(s) Time Score 1st VAN Jason Garrison (7) (PP) Dan Hamhuis (12), Jannik Hansen (6) 04:54 1–0 VAN VAN Zack Kassian (11) Unassisted 11:27 2–0 VAN OTT Clarke MacArthur (19) Erik Condra (8), Eric Gryba (8) 15:15 2–1 VAN OTT Erik Karlsson (16) (PP) Clarke MacArthur (25) 17:03 2–2 TIE 2nd OTT Cody Ceci (2) Jason Spezza (31), Milan Michalek (16) 10:11 3–2 OTT 3rd OTT Colin Greening (6) (EN) Chris Neil (4), Zack Smith (7) 18:27 4–2 OTT Number in parentheses represents the player's total in goals or assists to that point of the season Penalty summary Period Team Player Penalty Time PIM 1st OTT Colin Greening High-sticking 03:17 2:00 OTT Chris Neil High-sticking 08:44 2:00 VAN Ryan Stanton Tripping 16:03 2:00 2nd OTT Eric Gryba Hooking 05:29 2:00 VAN Jannik Hansen Diving 05:29 2:00 VAN Zack Kassian Roughing 15:09 2:00 3rd OTT Chris Neil Unsportsmanlike conduct 01:41 2:00 VAN Tom Sestito Unsportsmanlike conduct 01:41 2:00 VAN Alex Burrows Roughing 05:38 2:00 OTT Chris Phillips Roughing 05:38 2:00 OTT Eric Gryba High-sticking 14:11 2:00 VAN Brad Richardson Tripping 15:47 2:00 Shots by period Team 1 2 3 Total Ottawa 10 12 6 28 Vancouver 12 8 11 31 1em Power play opportunities Team Goals/Opportunities Ottawa 1/3 Vancouver 1/3 Three star selectionsTeamPlayerStatistics 1st OTT Clarke MacArthur 1 goal, 1 assist 2nd VAN Ryan Kesler 4 shots, 4 hits 3rd OTT Erik Karlsson 1 goal Team rosters Ottawa Senators # Player Position 3 CAN Marc Methot D 4 CAN Chris Phillips (A) D 5 CAN Cody Ceci D 6 USA Bobby Ryan RW 7 CAN Kyle Turris C 9 CZE Milan Michalek LW 14 CAN Colin Greening C 15 CAN Zack Smith C 16 CAN Clarke MacArthur LW 19 CAN Jason Spezza (C) C 22 USA Erik Condra RW 25 CAN Chris Neil (A) RW 40 SWE Robin Lehner G 41 USA Craig Anderson G 46 CAN Patrick Wiercioch D 62 CAN Eric Gryba D 65 SWE Erik Karlsson D 68 CAN Mike Hoffman C 89 CAN Cory Conacher LW 93 SWE Mika Zibanejad CHead coach: CAN Paul MacLean 1em Vancouver Canucks # Player Position 1 CAN Roberto Luongo G 2 CAN Dan Hamhuis D 3 CAN Kevin Bieksa (A) D 5 CAN Jason Garrison D 7 USA David Booth LW 8 CAN Chris Tanev D 9 CAN Zack Kassian RW 14 CAN Alex Burrows LW 15 CAN Brad Richardson RW 17 USA Ryan Kesler C 18 CAN Ryan Stanton D 20 USA Chris Higgins LW 21 CAN Zac Dalpe C 22 SWE Daniel Sedin (A) LW 23 SWE Alexander Edler D 24 SUI Raphael Diaz D 29 USA Tom Sestito LW 31 SWE Eddie Lack G 33 SWE Henrik Sedin (C) C 36 DEN Jannik Hansen RWHead coach: USA John Tortorella thumb|Fireworks were set-off at the conclusion of the game Scratches Ottawa Senators: Jared Cowen, Matt Kassian, Joe Corvo Vancouver Canucks: Yannick Weber, Jordan Schroeder Officials Referees — Steve Kozari, Tom Kowal Linesmen — Brad Lazarowich, Michel Cormier National Anthem The Canadian national anthem was sung by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan accompanied by the Sarah McLachlan School Of Music Choir.
