The NHL's Winter Classic is coming to Fenway Park.
The league made the announcement at the major league's oldest ballpark Wednesday afternoon. The outline of a rink was laid out over the field with temporary fencing that had the center faceoff circle at second base.
The Bruins will play the Philadelphia Flyers at 1 pm on Jan. 1.
"Landing the Winter Classic here is something that we have worked hard to achieve for our fans for quite some time," says Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs. "In Boston, we have been home to more than our fair share of great sports moments
too many to list. But there is no doubt that on New Year's Day 2010, we will be adding another indelible memory to that long list."
In previous years, the game was played outdoors at Wrigley Field and Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, N.Y.
