Hurricane’s Hockey Talk
BAM.. Boston Bruins will host a game at Fenway Park on New Years Day in 2010. The only problem I have with this is now I have to spend NYE 2010 in Boston.
From Boston Herald:
Don’t breathe a word of this. Because nobody’s supposed to know. But the Boston Bruins [team stats] will host the NHL’s Winter Classic outdoor hockey game against an unnamed opponent Jan. 1 at Fenway Park [map]!
Our spies on Lansdowne Street say the League has given its blessing to a 2010 New Year’s Day game in the Hub of Hockey, choosing Boston over New York and Philadelphia.
League reps had visited all three cities and, in Boston, looked at both Fenway and Gillette Stadium . However, scheduling around any Patriots [team stats]post-season play was a tricky proposition, we’re told, and ultimately Fenway got the nod.
