The 2010 Winter Classic

Today I watched a hockey game. Not just any game, but the 2010 Winter Classic. For the past 3 years on New Years Day an outdoor game of hockey has been played. This year's Winter Classic was played between the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers. Apart from being an outdoor game, the venue was also unique. This game was played at Fenway Park, which is home of baseball's Boston Red Sox.

Despite the Vancouver Canucks not playing this game, I had enjoyed this game far more than any other this season. The atmosphere of nearly 40,000 people at this famous baseball stadium was truly amazing. But apart from the crowd, the game itself was excellent. It was a hard fought battle, which was decided in overtime.

People ask me why I love hockey, and it's because of the skill, speed & passion of the players. The 2010 Winter Classic is a perfect example of those things.

Please take some time to watch the highlights & enjoy a great game of hockey. The Bruins are wearing yellow, and the Flyers are in white.
