Louis Blues. The highly anticipated outdoor game will be held at Wrigley Field, marking the seventh regular-season NHL game to be played outdoors. This year's event, however, will feature a notable change from tradition.
For the past six years, the NHL has hosted the Winter Classic on New Year's Day. This year, the puck will drop on December 31st, a move likely intended to capitalize on the New Year's Eve festivities and attract larger crowds just before the year ends.
With the game slated for New Year's Eve, it's expected to draw a significant number of fans from both sides, especially given the longstanding rivalry between the Blackhawks and the Blues.
The shift in date is a strategic effort to capture the excitement and celebratory atmosphere surrounding the holiday.
Adding to the allure, this game brings the Winter Classic full circle, as the inaugural event was held in Chicago back in 2009.
Fans can expect an electrifying atmosphere as they gather at Wrigley Field to witness this historic matchup.
Tickets for the Winter Classic will go on sale on June 14th at 10:00 AM Central Time. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early to be part of this special event.
