NHL Winter Classic 2009 - Wrigley Field
The new tradition in the NHL, the outdoor game, has come to Chicago. For we legions of pond hockey enthusiasts, this represents the ultimate dream... an NHL game on an outdoor frozen "pond". Last year in Buffalo, the weather was blizzard-like and ice was like a frozen river, with ridges, ruts and the like. This year in Chicago, the sun is shining down and the action is fast for outdoor hockey. What better way to spend a winter day than outdoors at the hockey rink. I remember skating outdoors at Portage Park, Park Ridge, Mt. Prospect and anywhere else the park district would freeze a patch of ice. I have also spent my share of time on frozen ponds in lakes of my youth. I always hated when the puck got lost in the snow...Great game!
