Just like they did last year, the NHL is going to have another old fashioned game of shinny on New Year’s Day, but this time it will be at Wrigley Field in Chicago. This year’s NHL Winter Classic will feature the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings in their 701st matchup. The game will be broadcast live on NBC, CBC, RDS and The NHL Network at 1:00 PM ET on January 1, 2009.
