The WinterClassic is nearly upon us.
It doesn't have the history of the All-Star Game, but the atmosphere of the Winter Classic is far superior and the players take it much more seriously since it is, of course, an actual game with two points at stake.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
The Winter Classic began in 2008 and has been played in nearly every year since. Other outdoor games have been staged over that span, but the Winter Classic is the most prestigious of the league's outdoor settings. The event did not take place in 2013 and 2021 , but both of those matchups took place the following year.
This year's matchup features two teams familiar with the event. The Boston Bruins will host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Fenway Park on Jan. 2. It will be the Bruins' fourth Winter Classic appearance and the Penguins' third appearance.
