Reports have been circulating over the past month or so that the 2012 NHL Winter Classic will be held at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park and feature a major matchup between the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers. I think it is safe to say this will be the most physical Winter Classic ever!
Not only do these two teams dislike each other, they are both currently well-stocked with physical players. Even the talented guys on the teams are big hitters like Philly's Mike Richards and the Rangers' Ryan Callahan & Brandon Dubinsky. This is going to be one hard hitting display of old time hockey!
Fans are anxiously awaiting the announcement of the 2011-2012 NHL schedule for confirmation that the game will be played on January 2, 2012. This is a slight change from the typical New Year's Day Winter Classic due to the fact the Philadelphia Eagles have a home game on January 1st and logistically having two big events at the same time would cause a traffic fiasco in that section of Philadelphia. If you've ever been there, you know what I'm talking about.
