The NHL Winter Classic is going to get schooled.
Just one week following the highly anticipated Winter Classic matchup between the Bruins and Flyers on New Year's Day at Fenway Park, the Boston University Terriers will reportedly be taking on the Boston College Eagles at Fenway in some outdoor hockey action of their own.
According to the Boston Herald, the announcement will be made during a news conference Aug. 20 at Fenway Park.
“I’m really excited about that. It’s a dream come true,” BC coach Jerry York told the Herald. “We just need a cold, clear night, don’t we? That be would be pretty good."
The report indicated that the game will be played at 8 p.m. with a match between the Northeastern and University of New Hampshire women preceding it.
“It’s going to be a late start. How cold might that be?” York asked. “I think it’ll be a lot of fun. I think ticket prices will be pretty good. I envision 25,000 people, maybe. What a thing for Hockey East."
