NHL's "Road to the Winter Classic" returns, featuring the Blackhawks and Blues at wrigley field.
Exciting news for hockey fans and sports documentary aficionados alike-the NHL is bringing back its acclaimed "Road to the Winter Classic" series, this time spotlighting an epic showdown between the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues.
The series is set to air on HBO in Canada and TNT in the United States, offering a raw, behind-the-scenes look akin to HBO's hit show "Hard Knocks" with the NFL's Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams.
The first edition of this series was launched back in 2010, focusing on the 2011 Winter Classic at Heinz Field. This season, however, the spotlight shifts to the historic Wrigley Field, promising not only top-tier hockey action but also a nostalgic embrace of Chicago's rich sporting legacy.
«This place is awesome,» NHL senior executive vice president and chief content officer Steve Mayer said. «We've had long discussions, for instance, about what makesthe building that we're in the landmark that it is. How do we bring the baseball to hockey, the building to hockey? Those are first and foremost. But it's really important for us [fans are] in Utah, they're in Winnipeg, they're in Europe, that - boom - they know we're in Chicago. If we fail at that, we think we've failed.
That's become our first mental processes in what we're creating - to make sure it's so obvious that we're doing a game in Chicago, we're celebrating Chicago and we're showing it off to the world. When you're showing off one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, you better know we're playing at Wrigley.»

Adding to the excitement, the Blackhawks' recent YouTube series "Every Shift" has been a hit, showcasing the dynamic personalities within the team.
With such characters on the roster this year, the upcoming "Road to the Winter Classic" promises to be as entertaining as ever, blending the thrill of the game with the charm of one of America's most beloved stadiums.
Fans across the globe, from Utah to Winnipeg to Europe, can look forward to a series that not only highlights the intensity of the NHL but also celebrates the spirit and culture of Chicago.
Get ready to experience the Winter Classic like never before, at the intersection of history, sport, and cinematic storytelling.
