I like hockey, but don't think the NHL has done the best job at managing or promoting the sport, with the exception of the Winter Classic- a regular season game played outdoors on New Year's Day. After the snowy Pittsburgh vs. Buffalo matchup in 2008 earned huge television ratings, the NHL wisely decided to make the outdoor game an annual event.
Today, I learned that the next Winter Classic will be played at Fenway Park, with the Boston Bruins facing a still unnamed opponent (please oh please let it be the Habs). How exciting! Here's to hoping I'll be able to score tickets...

Today they are saying that the opponent will either be the Philadelphia Flyers or the Washington Capitals. Should still be a good time...
