The NHL Winter Classic Is Coming Back To Fenway

 

Commissioner Gary Bettman has announced The Boston Bruins will host the 2023 Winter Classic. The game will be played on January 1, 2023, at Fenway Park. 

"It's been 12 years since we were at Fenway, a lot of money has been put into the building, it's not quite the same ballpark. Boston is obviously a great hockey town. We've now done over 30 outdoor games; if you want to keep doing them you have to go back to some places. It won't look and it won't be the same, Steve Mayer won't allow it, as it was last time. It'll be a new experience in a venue that has been transformed and modernized in some ways. We think it'll be a great event. You'll have to speculate on who the opponent will be." - Gary Bettman

Fenway Park was the host of the Winter Classic back in 2010 when the Boston Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 OT. It has not been determined who the Bruins opponent will be. If I was to guess I believe the Pittsburgh Penguins since they are not owned by Fenway Sports Group.
