NHL Winter Classic features Blackhawks and Blues at Wrigley Field
The NHL Winter Classic is set for December 31, featuring the Chicago Blackhawks against the St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field. Both teams will wear special jerseys for the outdoor game. The Blues' locker room is notably separated from the rink by several stairs, which players must navigate in skates. Some players, like goalie Joel Hofer, have been seen humorously struggling with the descent. Young star Connor Bedard expressed excitement about participating in the event, calling it one of the coolest experiences of his life. The game will start at 5 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on multiple networks.
