Flyers to play at Fenway on Jan. 1

The NHL announced on Wednesday that the Bruins will play the Philadelphia Flyers at Fenway on New Year's Day in the annual Winter Classic, an outdoor game that has become one of the league's signature traditions since it began in 2008. Unlike previous years, when the annual outdoor game was played at Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium and Chicago's Wrigley Field, this year's NHL matchup will be part of a festival that will include public skating and a college hockey game.

Are you a fan of these outdoor games? Are you looking forward to the Flyers outdoor game?

They are quite unique and fun to watch. Now if they would only get rid of the face masks and helmets then it would be really nostalgic.

Don't see much chance of that happening though.
